Re: Uffz. Karl Finke - JG 26 - KIA 8 July 1941 nr Ypres

Dranouter is some 9 kms west of Wijtschate, the reported crash place of Finke's Bf-109.
Now buried at the German cemetery at Lommel (Block 42, Grab 401).

Obfw. Meyer (JG 26) also claimed a Spitfire nr Hazebrouck, in the general area as well.
But from the story about Finke and his long dogfight with a Spitfire, which later on crashed, this was P/O Pine's a/c.
