Forgotten fact for you. A Ju88 was shot down over Dover on 21st January 1944 after returning from a bombing mission late at night. Caught by searchlights, it was hit by AA fire and crashed right on top of The Citadel, skidding across the parade ground, demolishing the gymnasium and exploding. The pilot, Helmut Neumann was killed, the gunner Heinz Grun parachuted to safety, but the other two crew were never found. Grun, unusually, was reportedly a committed Nazi and was taken by MI5 for interrogation.
