Junkers 88 Collision 29.8.40
On the 29.8.40 2x Junkers 88A-1 a/c of 5/KG77 collided mid air and crashed on and near the Hornisgrinde, this being the highest mountain in the northern Black Forest area in Germany.
Other than Hptm Bus St.Kapitan, 7 other nco's were killed when their planes crashed, could anybody help with the missing crew member names and functions? Any help most appreciated. Best regs, Steve. |

Steve / Peter,
One note here: Both W.Nr. appear again in GeQu. 6.Abt. loss listings! It happened from time to time (many were corrected or not given at all) but its curious in this case having both in duplicate, so do the NVM also list these same? Best regards ed |
