-''After the JU88 was put into production, the Luftwaffe, which was still fascinated by the ejector aircraft, immediately thought of the possibility of developing the JU88C into a day fighter. Under this idea, several JU88C with specially enhanced forward firing firepower were produced for demonstration. Satisfied with the results of the early tests, the RLM ordered a small field test, and on 21 February 1940 KG30 received a batch of JU88C2s to form an additional squadron of evicters.''

-''In the report submitted to the RLM, the performance and role of JU88C were fully affirmed. The squadron leader pointed out that its excellent handling, long range and ability to attack under bad weather conditions were fully competent for the role positioning of the evictor, which was enough to pose a serious threat to enemy bombers. It was suggested that JU88C be put into formal production and used on a large scale. However, in response to the opening of the British night bombing, the squadron was adapted into a night fighting unit.''

-''After a long wait, the opportunity finally came. Although the British decimated the French Navy in Operation Crossbow to save her from falling into German hands, the U-boat pack can now launch a crushing battle from the west coast of France, and they will be more deadly than their predecessors in the last Great war. For the first two years of the war, the Air Force used the FW200 to support U-boat operations, but with the escalation of war intensity, the firepower and mobility of the FW200 were insufficient, and the range of the BF110 and FW190 was insufficient to support deep ocean operations, so the Luftwaffe began to use the JU88C6.''

-''After a series of complicated preparation and reorganization, the Fifth KG40 Brigade using JU88C6 was formally established in July 1942. Compared with the previous JU88C2, the C6 changed the engine to improve the speed and maneuverability, and the forward fire and self-defense firepower were also further improved. Perfect for deep ocean hunting Allied anti-submarine aircraft and bombers.''

-''Over a period of two years, the battalion achieved a total of 109 confirmed and 3 probable victories, at the cost of 91 Ju88s lost in action, 30 lost to mechanical problems, bad weather or unknown causes, 222 killed or missing, 58 killed in accidents, 7 captured, 51 wounded, and more than 100 wounded. These results were pitiful compared with those of the single-engine fighter units, especially on the Eastern Front, and were almost forgotten after the war, but the battalion was originally set up to support U-boat operations and did its best to do so.''

By the end of the campaign, the squadron claimed seven more air victories and only one of its own was forced to land seriously injured by anti-aircraft fire.
