KG54 loss 6th.June 1944
ADIK report no 270/1944 shows that around 0100hrs on the 7th June ''(pilot) Fw. Waldemar Baetke disc no 60029 '' was picked up by a US destroyer off the French Beachead. However the airman who held the EK.1 died some twenty minutes later. I could not find any reference to him, however the KG 54 book shows that a Bf of 9/KG54 Fw. Waldemar Bethge was reported missing with his crew on the 6th.June. Does anyone have anything to confirm if this is the same man,
Thanks
Brian Bines
