II/KG 4 at Amsterdam, Jun 40
Does anyone have any confirmation that II (in particular 6 Staffel)/KG 4 ever operated out of Amsterdam-Schiphol and apart from Hptm Storp of 8/KG 4 on 3 Jun 40, did any other Ju 88s crash-land on the airfield prior to 18 Jun 40?

Re: II/KG 4 at Amsterdam, Jun 40
Do you have access to Ab Jansen's Schiphol books?

Ok, I'll take a look later this evening and see if it answers your question(s).

Re: II/KG 4 at Amsterdam, Jun 40
Others with hard data will probably be able to give you better info, but from Fliegerhorst Schiphol by Ab Jansen, it looks like:
Only III./KG 4 Operated from Schiphol First as a staging area, later in 1940 as their operational field. Specifically listed are: June 13th Ju 88 A-1 5J+JT Wnr 244 crew killed No mention of II./KG 4 There's a 2./KG 30 Ju 88 4D+BZ that crashed on take off on July 13th. The other Gruppen operated from Eindhoven and Soesterberg. But I guess you'll probably have more in depth information than I can provide from a book

Re: II/KG 4 at Amsterdam, Jun 40
June 13th
Ju 88 A-1 5J+JT Wnr 244 crew killed This one crashed near Amsterdam, so maybe not in Schipol, II.KG4 didn't operate Ju88, but He111P, just the III. Group operates Junkers Remi
