Number SD-2 bombs on board Ju 88 A-5 and Me 110

[Denniss]

Standard Ju 88A, just Rüstzustand A (no fuel in bomb bays). Manual mentions 360 as max (Ju 88A im Rüstzustand A kann mit 360 SD 2 beladen werden) and no external bombloads possible as the release mechanism was already maxxed out with the 360 SD 2 (Beladung von Mischlast ist nicht möglich da über RAB-DKS/XII die Flügellasten nicht im Reihenwurf ausgelöst werden können).
Bombs are released with forward bomb bay left first, then forward right, rear left and rear right

Hi Mirek

I checked again in my documents (diary 7./KG51). The Ju88 of III./KG51 were loaded with a total of 360 SD2. The allegation of me with a total of 720 SD2 was wrong.
The tubes for the SD2 are loading tools and helps to loading the bombs in the bomb bay.
For the loading of a Ju88 with 320 SD2 groundcrewmen needed about 20 to 30 minutes.

Hi Rainer, great thanks for this tips/info. I was not sure for amount of SD-2, this is important, very small detail, but sometimes very inportant.
