Ju 88 A-5, WNr. 4332, IV./KG 3, lost 17 January 1943

[George 118]

Hello all,

I am researching a Luftwaffe loss and would appreciate any help. The aircraft in question is a Junkers Ju 88 A-5, Werknummer 4332, from IV./KG 3, which was lost on 17 January 1943, reportedly over or near the Channel.

So far I have found only a basic loss entry (no cause given). I am hoping to learn more about:

The mission type or target on that date

Circumstances of the loss (accident, interception, flak, etc.)

Names of the full crew, if recorded

Any corresponding Allied claims or combat reports

If anyone has access to KG 3 war diary (KTB) entries, casualty lists, or combat reports that might shed light on this loss, I would be very grateful.

Many thanks in advance,
George
