Ju88 loss - 6th July 1944.
Hello all.
Can anyone please help with the following loss? During the night of the 6th of July 1944 several aircraft belonging to 5./KG26 were lost over the invasion area.I have information to suggest that at least one - Ju88 - came down in the sea approx. 30km south of the island of Jersey.Cause unknown (nightfighter?). The pilot was Oblt. Waldemar Gebhardt and he may, at one point, have made it to a life raft! I believe he and the rest of the crew were never found. I have a list of 13 crew from 5./KG26 that went missing on that night and would like to match them to each aircraft if possible. Also, I would be grateful for any info re allied nightfighter claims for Ju88s made on that particular night in the vicinity of the Channel Islands or over the adjacent French coast! Thanks for any help. Steve. Last edited by cheesey; 15th December 2008 at 23:21. Reason: Correct error!
