Re: Where and why

Grüß Gott Carsten!

Thank you so much for posting your five photographs of the mishap to Ju 88A-5 WNr. 3237 at HFW Schönefeld on 30. Sept. 1940. And thanks to all who have added additional information. Out of such cooperative efforts a more complete story emerges.

I have noticed that one source on the above mishap has not yet appeared. That is in a published history of HFW Schönefeld which contains a few lines on the production situation and accidents in the 1939-1940 period. The passage is in Horst Materna, Die Geschichte der Henschel Flugzeug-Werke in Schönefeld bei Berlin 1933-1945 (Bad Langensalza: Verlag Rockstuhl, 2010), p. 198. I quote it here:
. . . am 26. September 1940 bereits der 500. Rumpf die Werkhalle 7, in der die Einbauten erfolgten. Vier Tage später erschütterte eine Katastrophe die gesamte Belegschaft. Die Ju 88 mit der Werknummer 3273 [sic, 3237] stürzte während eines Ausdauerflug aus geringer Höhe in die im Endausbau befindliche Halle 12 und ging in Flammen auf. Die dreiköpfe Besatzung unter Feldwebel Ludwig Hildt uns zwei Belegschaftsmitglieder kamen dabei ums Leben.
