Hello,

According to my ref material the crew did leave the damaged plane, bailing over France. The pilotless Ju 88, however, did cross the Alps(?!) and crashed close to Milan.

Oblt. Bohn must have been found in the Netherlands as he was initially buried in Breda. He could have been found in northern Belgium but France seems too far away....

It is also possible that he came down in France, but that his remains were brougt back to Holland to be buried at Breda, where other members of 4./NJG 2 were also buried. For instance Oblt. Paul Zimmermann, KIA 40-10-17 and Ofhr. Hans Klarhöfer KIA 41-02-17.

Sure, but the others you mentioned were killed in the Netherlands. It is common to "collect" the dead on a cemetery near the base of the unit but if the distance was far, it was only done in a few cases.....
