KG 30 Junkers Ju 88 loss off Great Yarmouth 04.03.1943 - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Hi Guy's,

Today I am searching for the aircraft and aircrew data relating to the loss of this Ju 88. Two bodies from the crash were washed up the following day and now rest in the Scottow Cemetery, Norfolk. The two airmen were Oskar Haug and Richard Prohaska. Can anyone supply me with their aircraft/other crew members details.

Thanks a lot,

Melvin

Hi Guy's,

Thanks for the useful information Matti & Brian, will update the page I am constructing for our website. Thanks for pointing out my error of the year! I do keep having these senior moments lately, and I'm only 56!

Thanks again,

Melvin
