[Peter Achs]

1. yes, but maybe got a V-number

2. don't know what you're referring to

3. no idea, 0096 was in Dessau in March 1940 for modifications after the stay in Rechlin

4. ok, went to Z-Staffel/KG 30 as 4D+OH in April 1940, later 1./NJG 2

5. yes, nonense, these are different planes, Ju 88 A-1/0015/DD+IA was used for testing the heating and de-icing system, crashed in February 1940, Ju 88 V15/0007 was used as a engine testbed for BMW 139 and later BMW 801, had been at BMW in Munich since mid-1940. Z15 (W-Nr. 0363) was the 15th converted Ju 88 C-4 including the prototypes of this subtype.

6. yes, nonsense

The Ju 88 V7 never had anything to do with the development of the Zerstörer. Got the solid nose during conversion to a liaison aircraft in 1942.
