JU88 Lost near Hanover 08 Oct 43
Can anyone identify the JU88 shot down by a 78 Sqn Halifax on the outskirts of Hanover on the night of 8/9 Oct 1943. Time of combat is shown as 0131 hrs in the Sqn report.
Thanks |

It could be Leutnant Gross from 6./NJG 2 (Uffz Dreesen and uffz Burow), Ju 88c-6 R4+MP, but it is only a guess

Thank you Frans, I believe that they were shot down by Sgt Coggans of 78 Sqn who was awarded the DFM as a result.

Four bomber command a/c claimed night fighters over Hannover that night
The is only one Ju88 definitely lost there, therefore 25% chance it is the 78 Sqn crew that got it Martin |
