Loss Olt. Dietrich Forke 2./(F) /SAGr. 131
 
Hello,

looking for all Informations about the Loss of Olt. Dietrich Forke from 2./(F) /SAGr. 131. Due to GQM for 13.October 1943, Mid Air Collision with Bf-109 2./JG5 Ltn. Manfred Assmy. south of Mandal / Norway.
Searching all Infos for the family of Forkes BF, Uffz. Friedrich (Fritz) Rabe which was living near my home in Münchehagen / Loccum. Due to VDK Database, the entire Crew was never found.

Thanks again for helping in advance...
