Re: 3rd Feb. 1940. KG30
Does anyone have record of a Ju88 being shot down in the area 53º30-54º40N/c.03ºE (Dogger Bank area) at c.0850hrs(BST) or 0950hrs(CET)? Cause was probably naval gunfire but fighters cannot be ruled out.

The fighters claims that day (4 He 111s destroyed and 3 damaged) were at 0930, 0940, 1115 hrs or thereabouts. The only other Ju 88 lost that day you already know about-Hptm Heinz-Wilhelm Rosenthal's?

Re: 3rd Feb. 1940. KG30
Chris,
Thanks for replying. Blitz, then & now vol.1 states that Rosenthal's Ju88 was hit by AA fire off the Moray Firth. I have grounds for believing that it was, in fact, lost over Dogger Bank when en route to the Moray Firth - although whether a ship or a fighter was the cause is in some doubt. I am still hoping that someone has record of a claim by a ship or a fighter -although I doubt the possibility of a fighter claim. Bill
