Re: Fate of a Ju88 of KG26 July/August '44

Thank you Claude!
I'm very certain the pilots name is Ugrics. I have several documents with his name with a 'c' in it.

Regarding Uffz. Oehl's missions in June and July 1944:
From 24th of May until 13th of June Uffz. Ugrics and Uffz. Oehl were at Riga-Spilve flying several Ju88s:
A8+HH, A8+AH, A8+DH, A8+FH, A8+IH, A8+KH, A8+RH, A8+GH, A8+LN, A8+BH
They were training landing and takeoff ("Übungsanflug" etc.) until 29th of May, but from 30th May until 13th of June there are some entries "Einzelschuss", "Fächerschuss", "Verbandsangriff", "Beleuchterschuss".

Later from 22nd of June: Entry "Fu.-Ge. 200", Ju52 NP+YN, Dievenow (now Dziwnów), with Uffz. Ehler
26th: "Fu.-Ge. 200", Ju52 RM+ZT, trip to Rönne-Bornholm and back to Dievenow, with Ofw. Kleinke.
27th: "Fu.-Ge. 200", Ju52 RM+ZT, Dievenow, with Fw. Riemenshnitter.
28th: "Taktik 200", He111 VG+IZ, Dievenow, with Ofw. Bundrock.
I assume those were training.

From 1st of July until the 5th Uffz. Ugrics and Uffz. Oehl were (back) at Kolberg (now Kołobrzeg) with Ju88s 1H+AW, 1H+CW, 1H+EW, 1H+AU.
Flugbuch says "Nachtplatzflug" on every day, but also "U-Geleitangriff" on the 4th and 5th (1H+AU), with trip to Groß Schiemanen (now Szymanki) and back to Kolberg, and later that day "Nachtseetiefflug" (1H+AW).

Next entry is from 29th of July, Uffz. Ugrics and Uffz. Oehl with Ju88 1H+IS "Küstenflug" from Garons to Montpellier (140km) and back to Garons (620km).

Last entry (my OP):
31st of July, Ju88 1H+FT, "Feindflug" from Garons at 2235. Comment written "Einsatz gegen nordamerikan. Großgeleit an d. nordafrik. Küste".

If you need more details or a certain day, let me know. The log starts on 8th of March 1943.
