Hello,

I look for any information about a German fighter probably shot down on March the 16th 1944 near Saint-Dizier in France: pilot killed...

Thank you for any help.

Hello and thank you Frans for this very quick answer...

Did those three pilots die that day?
What kind of aircraft did they fly?

Bye
