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.
