Junkers 88A-4 W.Nr.1136 Fate.

[steve sheridan]

Hi, could anybody help with the fate of Ju 88A-4 W.Nr 1136 if known.
I have a reference this may have been 5K+DP of 6/KG3 flown by
Fw.Gerhard Rasch but I don't have timeline or source.
Any help would be appreciated on a/c. or pilot.
Best regs,
Steve.

Hi Steve,

in the Gen.Qu. loss report from 26 September 1941 no. 25 is listed:
21.9. III./KG 51 Feindflug, Ort: bei Nikopol, Ursache: Jägerbeschuß, Besatzung abgesprungen. Handwritten addition: loss category 5 (= Totalverlust durch Bordwaffenbeschuß auf Feindflug ohne Feindbeobachtung/destroyed by gunfire from enemy aircraft during operational flight, not observed by enemy).
Ju 88 A-4 1136 100%.

Thanks Leo and Jo-Me.
It would appear this a/c ended up with KG51 then, must have been transfered to make up for other losses.
Thanks for your replies.
