dear all
I try to rebuild the end of Ju88 Wnr 2307.
This Wnr plate was found near Ales (close to Nimes, south of France) and local testimonies Evoque a crash in June 1944.
On other forums, I had some information on this Ju88 (see under the picture) but so far I was unable to rebuild the end of this Ju88 (crew, date of crash, background ..)
Can you help ?
Thanks a lot

The only entry for W.Nr. 882307 is from Airwar for Yugoslavia, Greece & Crete/Shores et al, p.369. Identified as an A-5 operated by 5.LG 1 which was lost 100% on 24.5.41, location Heraklion. II./LG 1 was operating in the Mediterranean during May 1941, so that would fit for that reference. I do not have any details other than the pilot's name. Since that entry probably precludes a French crash site, I am thus not much help. I have previously gone through the Qm. loss list page by page, but it is always possible to have missed an entry. Since my reference is not a primary source, there is also a question there, but I believe Chris Shores work was pretty solid. (ArtieBob)
2307 was in September/October 1942 in Villacoublay (Junkers repair facility) and I have two flights with the 2307, a workshop flight at Villacoublay on 14 Oct 42 and an acceptance flight at Nimes on 31 Dec 1942 with Hptm v Riesen (source: flight logbook Uffz Götz) (Peter Achs)
