Re: Ju 88 crash, London mission, 24./25.3.44
As far as could see KG2 lost two Do217's over France unfortunately the NVM's are not complete. The crew were killed in the crash of U5+IS, while the pilot was killed and the other three baled out of U5+KS which crashed at 2338hrs following engine trouble. Additionally a Me410 of 2/KG51 crashed at Chavigny with both crewmen killed. Other known losses were - KG2 lost a Ju188 and two more Do217's, KG6 lost three Ju88's over England, KG30 lost one Ju88 missing one at Merzhausen and one over Belgium, KG54 had two Ju88's missing, KG66 lost one JU88S 40km south of Brighton and another 6km south of Brighton with one crewman rescued POW, and a He177 was damaged in an emergency landing with two crewmen injured.
