Could very well be a Ju 88 A-5. I have 3 losses for this day from II./KG 51.

Hi Norbert,
Very interested to see your post above , regarding the three losses you have for this date. Would you be willing to share these with us?. I have no information on losses sustained by KG51 during 6.40, and would be interested in any losses. Any help would be most appreciated. Rgs, Steve. |

Thanks Norbert for the post - interesting I wonder if Lt Hepp may have been flying with II./KG 51 on this day...? I know he was attached to IV./KG 51 by a photo I have.
Regards, John |
