I'm an italian researcher lookin for clarifling some wrecks in my area,
Tuscany.
I was able to discover the wrecksite of a Ju88T1 from 1(F)/123 W.Nr.430913,
4U+GH lost in june 44 near Cortona, and I have a report of another loss in
my area the 22nd of jenuary 1944. Another crash is reported in Castiglion
fiorentino area at that time...
Basically I would have access to database of losses of 123, but I cant
register or just have a look there.
May you help me?
Best regards, Andrea

Here is some information that may be of assistance
Date Unit Aircraft Type Code Wkr.No. Notes
8 Jun 1944 1(F)./123 Ju 88T-1 4U+GH 430913 Shot down by Spitfires of 451 Sqdn near Pistoia. Obfhr. Scherf and three crew killed.
9 Jun 1944 – At 0222 1(F)./123 flew a long range mission from Perugia to photograph Bizerta and Ferryville, landing at Istres after being aoft for eight hours! 1(F)./123 also moved a Ju 88 (4U+BH) from Perugia to Bergamo.
This appears on the June 1944 page of the AufklGr 122 diary -
http://www.luftwaffedata.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Aufkl._Gr._122_Jun_1944 as 1(F).123 was subordinate to Stab 122 at that time.
I don't have anything for Jan 1944 - but that is not unusual. Please note that Luftwaffe Loss records for 1944 were themselves lost / destroyed.
Hope that the above is of some help.
