[tasos greece]

I am looking for further information about the loss of a Ju 88 of the LG1 which was shot down near Monemvasia ,Greece at 21/5/41.
Thank you in advance.

Possibly:

Ju 88A-5, WNr 4329, II./LG 1, 5/21/1941, Flak, Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #3)-Vol.4; Taghon, LG 1, I, p.455, Kreta, 20%.

Note, however the damage is 20%, not shot down, and the location is Crete.

Thanks for the help John , but i am not sure if we are talking about the same aircraft.Maybe the date i gave isn't correct.Do you have any information about the losses of LG1 in the 22th of May?

Regards Tasos

Yes, there were several lost as well as damaged. To narrow it down a bit, what are the circumstances you are looking for?

Many thanks John,the third loss match perfectly (Elaia=Elia).
I will ask for your help once again.Do you have any information about the loss of a Ju 88 with the code letters L1+LL during the same period?I found this information in 'Air war for Yugoslavia,Greece and Crete' and i am searching for further information.
Best regards Tasos

Hi.

This is what the loss record for this loss looks like in the GenQu6Abt lists:

http://www.ahs.no/ref_db/lw_loss_pub...?lossid=113307

I do not believe the record should be for 11./L.G.1 as it looks like in the entry by John, but rather the II.(Kampf)/L.G.1 as stated in my record. As far as I know 11./L.G.1 was part of the IV.(Stuka)/L.G.1 and at the time operating agains the Soviet Union on the northern front.

Best regards,
