Ju 88 Lost off Stampalia 31 Jan 44

[Chris Goss]

If the one crew made it to Turkey, the Germans would not have claimed it as shot down.

First of all thanks for all the additions Andy

I agree with Chris. From what is being stated it seems to me that Stoll shot down one of the Beaufighters while "something else" only damaged the other Beau. If that was an escort Bf 109 or not is perhaps not possible to say, but it seems likely with respect to the report given by the British upon their return.

Cheers

Hello guys

The fact that one of the Beauf. managed to reach Turkey does not deny that a victory (a little too optmist) has been claimed by a Bf.109,and that the other Beauf. was (by 11/ZG26) and also claimed by a Bf.109 (the same?)

A TRACK TO FOLLOW,PERHAPS,AND TO DEEPEN.

It seems ,that 2 Unteroffiziere of 7/JG27 (Paul Martin),and 8/JG27 (Rudolf Muras),then based in Greece and Crete, claimed victories of wich the moment nothing is known.

Paul Martin=2
Rudolf Muras=6

OK,it's "risky" to deduce that 2 of their unknown "abschusse" are that day.....BUT?
