Leutnant Walter Spaar (Spaer) - 9./KG 77 (gefallen 23 October 1940)
Good morning to all.
Am looking for details of the crew and Ju 88 A-1 coded 3Z+HT (which werknummer) shot down by AA over London on the night of 23 October 1940. Have tried to find on the Search pages but got no joy, although a similar III/KG 77 machine crash landed back in France, from that same mission to London. The names of Lt. Walter Spaar's crew would be most welcomed. OBS: Was the wreckage ever found? Many thanks Adriano B. |

Leo and Peter Cornwell,
Sorry for the long time to THANK YOU both on the DATA I was looking for. Quite a lot of work those last days.... I assume that since there was NO wreck found in England (I mean vestiges of the wreck), the machine may have crashed into the Thames mouth or at sea... I am very grateful for the additional information I was looking for. I just bought a picture depicting Lt Walther Spaar, this is why I asked that. Adriano B. |
