Ofw. Ohmscheid I./KG54 Ju-88 29-April-42

[Richard Mills]

I am starting to put the research down for a recently purchased set of documents to an Oberfeldwebel Josef Olmscheid of I./KG54, KIA following the loss of his Ju-88 over Malta on 29-April-42.

Is anyone able to pass on any information concerning both the aircraft and the crew? I would be interested in absoloutly any information at all that can be ascertained.

Thank you in anticipation.

Regards Richard.

Thank you very much indeed for your time and effort in providing input into my question on Ofw. Olmscheid.

To not only have the details of his fellow crew members and aircraft, but to also have the identity of the pilot who shot him down is fantastic for myself to be able to present a detailed reseach piece on Ofw. Olmscheid.

Chris, PM inbound this evening regarding the e-mail address.

Regards Richard.
