5J+ER (7/KG4) downed 27 Oct 1940

Morning

Can anyone supply me with any additional information about Ju88 A-5 5J+ER, Wnr. 6129 (7./KG4), shot down over Linton-Upon-Ouse on 27th October 1940?

Specifically looking for the AI(g) crash report and its corresponding AI(k) interrogation report if available? Believe the pilot was Oberlt. Podbielski, captured unhurt.

Regards

James

Suggest you get hold of my book Luftwaffe's Battle of Britain: The Bombers Battle which has photos of the crash and account from Podbielski based on the K report and his recollections. I believe it is also covered in one of Bill Norman's books

Will have a look tonight but what are you after? I have the NVM and no doubt someone else on this Forum might beat me to it in respect of the K

Don't have the K to hand but the G said:

Crashed 1810 hrs at Kirby Grindalythe near Malton Yorks MR A.3887. Markings 5J+ER (E in white). Crest: flying bat on yellow crescent moon. Tips of spinners white. Airframe manufactured by Norddeutsche Dornier Werke under licence to Junkers in 1940. Wk Nr 1258. Engines: Jumo 211B made by Junkers, Dessau (Wk Nrs 47853 & 62847). This aircraft is said to have been brought down by light AA fire and the starboard engine was put out of action. Aircraft made a good belly landing. Armament: Only 4 MG 15s fitted as follows: 2 upper rear, one front nose and one lower rear. Armour: The usual protection fitted for pilot's seat and upper and lower rear gunners. Crew: 4. One dead and 3 prisoners.

Podbielski said 3 of them attacked and Linton on Ouse reported being attacked by 3 ac at 1815 hrs and that one was damaged. Some think that Podbielski attacked Driffield (2 ac apparently attacked). Podbielski referred to his target as Malton on Ouse and that there were Whitleys based there and the NVM says Linton.

FlyPast magazine was supposed to publish my account of this incident in the current issue (they've had the piece since last February) - but didn't. Perhaps the article will see the light of day in the the next issue...?
