seeking info about Ju-88 sunk 10 May 1944 near Port Vendres
Hi everyone,
I'm seeking some more information about a Ju-88, which was sunk by friend Flak by accident on 10th may 1944, near Port-Vendres, south of France. No victims. Does anyone have more information ? (crewlist, flightnumber, or something like that) thanks a lot, Hervé Last edited by hervelevano; 16th October 2017 at 17:31. |

The problem will be no crew casualties means no NVM

Not a problem for the crew anyway! Still searching but not many chances to find something any more...

Is there any possibility that the date was 11 May? There was a major German operation against convoy UGS-40 that night.

Re: seeking info about Ju-88 sunk 10 May 1944 near Port Vendres
KTB 6. Sicherungsflottille says 10th may... I don't know how accurate the ktb is but I don't think they're wrong.
Another question : I thought the Ju 88 was shot by Flak Port Vendres ("friendly shot"), but Darius post says "by ennemy plane" (durch feindliches Flugzeug). Any info very welcome! I do not know any more if this Ju was sunk by the Germans or the Allies... Can anyone help? |

Re: seeking info about Ju-88 sunk 10 May 1944 near Port Vendres
Thank you Col,
but I'm not pretty sure of that: according to the ktb 6. Sich, this event occured on 10th may. Thus, I read the diary story of 151st sq, St Andre was more a village near Bordeaux where an airfield was, so very far of Port Vendres (Port Vendres is near Perpignan, on the mediterranean sea) No event at all on 10th may? I think more about a RAF squadron based in Mediterranean sea... thanks, Hervé Last edited by hervelevano; 17th October 2017 at 18:15. |
