Dornier accident on Milos

A threeengined seeplane (Dornier) had a bad take off at 10.10.1944 on the island of Milos. 13 men were killed, 8 were injured.
Does anybody knows the unit and the crew of that plane?

Re: Dornier accident on Milos

This was Do 24T-3 W.Nr. 1108, J9+FA of 70. Seenotstaffel. 100% crash during take-off from the Bay of Milos, killing the crew of six: Ofw. Fritz Stier (F), Oblt. Oskar Strübing (B), Uffz. Hans Helle (Bf), Fw. Walter Lüders (Bm), Fw. Leopold Krall (Bm), Gefr. (given name missing) Lennatz (Bs). Unfortunately, I miss details of other occupants of the aircraft.

Thanks Seaplanes, you helped a lot,

all these airmen are buried in the cemetary of Dionyssos-Rapendoza, outside Athens, except Lennatz. I found their names in the "Namenbuch deutscher Soldatenfriedhof Rapendoza 1939-1945"

regards from Salonica

Byron,

A quick look on the plane being loaded at Milos shows in effect a BV 138 and not a Dornier Do 24. Thanks for the pic anyway.
