Re: Hptm. Dietrich
10 May 1940 1.(H)/41 Henschel Hs126B-1. Returned damaged by ground fire 10 km south-west of Maastricht. Pilot unhurt, BO Lt Richard Dietrich killed. Aircraft 10% damaged - repairable.
Official records state that he died in Reserve Hospital I at Cologne-Hohenlind as a result of a head wound caused by ground-fire. His grave is apparently not administered by the VDK.
