Thank you Laurent.

Dear all,

On 27th August 1944 a Ju 88 of KG54 crashed or crash landed near the road called Biltseweg 12 at the town of Bosch en Duin, The Netherlands.
Obgrf. Johannes Apel was killed and rests today at Ysselsteyn cemetery.

I wonder if somebody has more accurate info about this loss such as Gruppe or Staffel, other crew members or in the best case a fuselage code or Werknummer.

Hope that somebody may have some additional details on file anyway.

Fingers crossed and thanks in advance for any effort,

Henry
