II/JG54 23 June 1941
Hi guys
One for the Eastern Front experts - on 23 June 1941, a formation of Bf109s from II/JG54 twice erroneously attacked Ju88s in mistake for Russian bombers. Was visibility poor? In the first incident a Ju88 from I/KG76 was shot down, from which the crew baled out. Soon afterwards, a formation of Ju88s from II/KG77 was attacked and four shot down plus a further two badly damaged. All told, four crewmen were killed and 11 wounded in this tragic encounter, in addition to which Uffz Walter Puregger of II/JG54 was shot down and killed by return fire. Who was the leader of the Messerschmitts? What was his fate? Was he court-martialled? Who were the German pilots involved? Any additional information will be appreciated. Cheers Brian
