Robert, from ULTRA intercepts it is clear that both planes were damaged at LG125 deep in the desert, not near Benghazi. As an aside, HK was at first presumed shot down, and is claimed as a probable by No. 33 Sqdn.

Hello,

perhaps you know the book "Ferne Nachtjagd" from the former Oberstabsarzt Dr. med. Otto Möhlenbeck and Manfred Leihse ? I think this book contains some interesting informations for you.

I picked up this book for $15 (Ferne Nachtjagd" from the former Oberstabsarzt Dr. med. Otto Möhlenbeck and Manfred Leihse) at a used book store in Las Vegas. Only thing I ever scored in LV.
The next year I found a copy of the 1962 edition of the history of the 24th Panzer Division, but I had to pay $50 for this one.

Many thanks for the recommendation!

Just another bit of info - on 23 Nov 41 Detachment NJG2 had six operational Ju 88 in Benghazi.
