Ju 88 V4+EN Overturned in Russia

Hi all

Does anyone happen to have more detail on a Junkers Ju 88 of 5./KG 1, coded V4+EN, which overturned (I think) in the winter of 1941-42. I would be very interested to tie down the date and whether any crew members were injured. From the attached photos it does not look good for the crew!

Any help much appreciated.

Bordfunker Ogfr Lemke, Hans, +
Überschlag bei Landung. Bruch 40 %.

Re: Ju 88 V4+EN Overturned in Russia

This is Ju 88 A-4 version and placement of Yellow front band across the fuselage cross suggests early period (winter 1941 to 1942).
However, just one A-4 of 5./KG 1 is in my book reported as turned over.
So this could be same.
(088)3543 Ju 88 A-4 5./KG 1 (Luftflotte 1 East)
Non-OPS (H) turned over on landing (40% Er) at Dno Airfield 13.03.1942 (BF Obgefr. Hans Lemke killed)
