Identity of airman?

Hi,

I have a flier's portrait of a Obergefreiter Hans Dittmann with only limited information on - he fell in 1943 and was a bordfunker - possibly with a bomber squadron.

Could anyone help me find his loss details?

Thank you

Rick

Re: Identity of airman?

There was Ogfr. Hans Dittmann who with Fw. Anton Theurer was killed in a Caproni CA 313, serial 12997, at St. Germain, France on 10 December 1943. Engine failure, burnt after crash. Unit: Luftzeugamt Göttingen.

On same day another CA 313 (12039) of that unit had an emergency landing in France, at Meximeux (had got lost, 30% damages).

Regards,
