Kampfstaffel 2/806

[steven1]

Hello I am looking for any information into this crewmember I believe he was killed in action Helmut Mirsch on the 14/09/41 whilst flying with this squadron,
any help with the other members of the crew would be great.
Also what type of operations was this squadron undertaking at the time,
I know they were flying JU88's.
regards

Thanks for the reply and information,

I think this may be the aircraft he was in JU88A-4, 1202.
CE+ZB.
Any confirmation would be appriciated

On 14.Sept.1941 germans were landing on island Muhu (Moon in german) in Estonia.

KGr 806 had 3 total losses reported for this day. One plane made crash landing into the sea near Virtsu (Werder in german), second one (where Mirsch was MIA/KIA) made crash landing into the sea at the unknown location and from third crew bailed out at the unknown location.

But Luftwaffe's report "Bericht über die Tätigkeit des Fliegerführer „B“ (bzw. Fliegerführer Ostsee) und der ihm unterstellten Verbände im Vorbereitung und Durchführung der Unterstützung des Heeres bei Landung auf Moon und Ösel" speaks about only single Ju 88 loss on 14.Sept. If this is not a mistake, then two losses may be unrelated to Muhu landing?

There is a Gen.Qu.6.Abt listing for Ju 88 A-4 W.Nr. 1202 lost 100% in a forced landng at sea on 14 Sept. 1941, killing pilot Uffz.Helmet Mirsch. The exct location was not reported and I do not have the crew members names. I believe the SKZ for that aircraft was not CE+ZB, it possibly may have been RD+YB, but do not have a primary source to reference.

Best regards,

Artie Bob

Andrew is probaly right , CE+ZB is 141202, not 881202, CE+ZB has been produced around jan.43
