Loss of Ju-88 of 3./LG1 at 22/5/1941 , Greece
I am trying to find further details about the loss of Ju-88 (L1+LL) of 3./LG1 which lost at 22/05/1941 in Greece. The aircraft was shot by AA fire of HMS FIJI during the Battle of Crete.
Does anyone have the official loss record? Thank you.

The crew survived, or at least Boecker, Mössner & Tesch did since these 3 men were later interned in Turkey on 6-Aug-41 during a sortie to the Suez due to disorientation and fuel pump failure. Boecker apparently escaped from Turkey sometime in Jan-42. He was a recipient of the RK.
