Additional informations
Ju 88 G-6, W.Nr. 623211 with the call letters C9+AR was assigned to the
5.Staffel of Nachtjagdgeschwader 5. The aircraft was equipped with the most
modern radar available at that time. It had the FuG-218 V/R "Neptune",
FuG -217 R, FuG- 15, FuG -10, FuG- 6 and FuG- 101. Since the aircraft was
also used in the night ground attack role against enemy ground troops it
had the factory applied RLM 75/76 camouflage painted over with dark green
colors. The aircraft also had ETC bomb racks. Further armament consisted
of 4 MG 151 in the nose and two MG 151 "Schräge Musik" firing
upward in the rear fuselage.
On April 30.1945 at 01:30 hours this aircraft took off with an unusual crew.
On board was the commander of 8./NJG 5 Hauptmann Hopf, as well as Oberleutnant
Dressler also from 8./NJG 5 and Oberleutnant Erhard of 10./ NJG 11. The
wives of Hopf and Dressler as well as Hopf's six year old daughter were
also on board. Their destination was neutral Switzerland. At 05:15 hours
Hauptmann Hopf was able to land safely at Dübendorf airport.
The aircraft was "improved" during the summer of 1945 by the Swiss
air force. The black markings on the fuselage and the tail were painted
over in white. The W. Nr. was also painted over. Later the aircraft received
Swiss markings. On 25. September 1949 the aircraft had its last public viewing
and shortly thereafter it became a victim of the welding torch. |

1978 I was born in Vienna
and I am working as technical employee in an architect's office.
I am building plastic models since I am 12. It started with
a F-16 Fighting Falcon in 1/32, which was followed by a few
cars and trucks. A Heinkel He111 H-6 in 1/72 brood my interest
for the German Luftwaffe. Since 2001 I am creating color profiles
also.
Some of them have been already published in relevant magazines
and books. The motto for building models and drawing profiles
is the same: Learning by Doing. To practise my passion it is
required to collect the necessary documentation, an expensive,
but interesting hobby, especially when I can obtain rare second
hand aviation antiquars. |
