There was a wartime German request for information on the following missing crew :-
Ofw Walter Brunn Uffz Willi Grothe Uffz Theodor Neumann Uffz Alfons Gusicki The date given is 10-4-1940 area of Scapa Flow although the British notation says these dates are not always accurate, it also states a Walter Brunn was known to have been with KG 26 but had been transferred to KG 30. Is anymore information available for this missing crew please, Regards Brian Bines |

Brian,
In "Fledgeling Eagles" by Shores et al there is mention of this aircraft on page 249 "Two Ju 88s were lost, one 2./KG 30 machine (Ofw Walter Brünn) failing to return after radioing an SOS that one engine had been lost due to a flak hit, whilst a 4 Staffel machine flown by Lt Hans Hohendahl was also missing." This is recorded in the diary entry for 10/04/40.
