Footnote: Unteroffizier Herbert Lassow was a German Luftwaffe radio operator operating solely on the eastern front in the Küstenfliegergruppe 806/Kampfgruppe 806. He graduated flying school on January 18, 1940 and was presumed missing in October 1942, after he and his crew did not return following an air mission. He flew with a crew consisting of Lieutenant Ingo Menny, Major Kurt Stein and Unteroffizier Gerhard Lang in a Junkers Ju 88 A-4 multi-role aircraft, and although official records about Lassow’s disappearance are not available, Menny, Stein, and Lang were declared KIA near Valetta/Malta on October 12, 1942, after taking heavy enemy fire following the raid of the Hal Fal airfield. Although the Ju 88 was one of the Luftwaffe’s most important assets during the entirety of the war, as it was suitable as a bomber, dive bomber, night fighter, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, and as a heavy fighter, the A-4 type was equipped with longer wings and a reinforced under carriage, making it vulnerable to fighter interception due to its slow maneuverability. Together, Unteroffizier Lassow flew over 100 air missions between 1940-1942, with great success, as is demonstrated by Lassow’s extensive collection of awards [C104].
