[Goofy12]

Hi All,

I am trying to find details on a plane (probably a JU-88A4) that was shot down on the 23rd of June 1942, belonging to KG26, (or KustenKampGeschwader 506 (III./KG506). Would anyone have any info on the Luftwaffe losses of that day?...and of this unit in particular?

Kind Regards,

Chris

Hi again, a bit more info, looks like the chap I am looking for is Gefreiter Friedrich Weiss.....

Any info welcome!!!....Would anyone have the book "Achtung Torpedos Los" regarding KG26?

Hi Chris,

Had a check through "Achtung Torpedos Los" could not find that name in their loss list in late June. checked Luft QM's returns for 23rd and the next four weeks and could not find Gefreiter Friedrich Weiss. Some of the returns are hard to read though, what is your source could this airman be groundcrew rather than aircrew,

Regards
