Re: Ju88 losses over Tobruk 16th Jan 1943
Ofw. Isachsen simply stated he was sick -- "Ich war krank und hatte drei Tage Flugverbot."
I have a feeling you are confusing Isachsen (8th) and Schmitz (16th). As I said earlier, Isachsen and his crew all survived the forced landing without major injury. Scheda and his crew were able to parachute to safety, but their a/c crashed. Schmitz and his crew were unable to parachute to safety, so their a/c is probably the one your dad's a/c hit which "went down vertically."
