I have only seen it before as attachment point for the outer external fuel tank of the "Eisenhammer configuration" on some Ju 88 S-3s of I./KG66 in March 1945. No idea if this configuration was already an existing (sleeping) conversion and included in the Ju 88 drawings (and just waiting to be activated) or that it was specifically designed at the last moment for Unternehmen Eisenhammer and/or I./KG66's Ju 88 S-3s...

Does anybody know if recce Ju 88s carried external tanks at this position?..

Regards,

hi marcel,
maybe this ju88 also belongs to II./LG 1. these ju88 were also fitted with ETC under the wings (like L1+BM and others)...
all the best
