JU 88 crew remains rapatriated from France to Germany in 1975 - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

The KG26 book shows that II/KG26 flew anti-partisan missions in the area in August 1944 but I have no further details. The crew of Uffz. Ewald Powering (Uffz. Kurt Stolberg, Uffz. Erwin Machek, Ogef. Franz Glashauer ) are shown as missing over France on the 23rd August this might be worth checking, but there are no more details in the book. Perhaps a Grave search might show if the loss of this crew is a possibility,

Regards

thanks a lot, Brian.

I checked my files and the crash happened in fact on 20 July 1944.

Best regards

Brian,

All these KG26 members are also presented as "Bodenpersonal"
