Re: Help identifying Hauptmann from IV/KG 27

Jim,

The incident is mentioned on a letter from Hauptmann Dehn (IV Gruppe) to a possible "girlfriend", in September 1943. I can check the date he wrote the letter (do not remember it by heart now). My German is very poor but I understood (it seems that Dehn was wounded) that Dehn was either flying on the same mission that this Hauptmann went missing (bought down by Flak) or he was indeed on the same crew and airplane. It is not clear, since I only am able to identify words in German and in hand written letter it is even more difficult to read and understand, since each person do have his own style of writing.

Please allow me one day or two to check the date positively...it may be BEFORE the letter was written. Dehn was at that time in a Lazarett in Germany.
