Art,

Does this report state which unit this aircraft belonged to? Does it give any reasons why this aircraft was left behind? (Damaged?)

Thanks in advance,

Marcel

Unfortunately no much on this airplane except the place WNr (if correct) and type , if the airplane was not unusual they don’t put a lot of information , however this document must be based on a report made by an investigation team , it will be very interesting to know by which unit and the identification of the document .

Hi
In the book 'Die Geschichte des LG1' Band 2 there is a loss-entry for 330932.

Hello Anders
I have only the band 1 1936-1942 , we never have enough books !! And of course the information you need is inside the one you don’t have !!
Many thanks for the information

I am not sure it’s the same airplane, maybe a wrong serial? Ahlhorm is pretty far from Braives , Huhn is said to be killed at Bissel !! This is a more normal crash place than in Belgium in liberated area!!

Another mystery

Hi again.
Not the first time there is an error..
In the same book there is a entry for a Ju88S-3, w.nr. 330933 4./LG1:
23.12.44, 100% Luftkampf mit nachtjäger, raum Hannut. L1+KM
FF Fw. Albert Johänntges, Gefangenschaft
BO Uffz. Joachim Flaskämper, Gefangenschaft
BF Ogef. Willi Konrad, Gefangenschaft
BS Uffz. Wilhelm Rudow, tot.

Could this be the one?

Hello Anders

It was my first idea , I have this information but as the serial was different , I assume it could be another airplane .
In the case of the #933 the pilot observer and the radio bailed out and became POW the 4th was killed in the crash or maybe before , this happened at 20:00 the mission was W of Liege R&R stations and bombing troops

Many thanks for your help
