Re: Bf 110 C fighter pilots: Fw Dahne, Olt Schlaffer, Olt Proske.
Looking at The Battle of Britain Then and Now, Manfred Dahne was killed whilst flying in 110C-4 Werk Number 3532 of 8/ZG76 on 25th August 1940. His aircraft crashed at Tatton House Farm, Buckland Ripers after combat with fighters over Portland. The farmer states that some human remains were found scattered about the fields after the crash and buried at the edge of a field. Manfred Dahne is still officially missing. His cigarette case was discovered during a dig on the site in the 1970's.
Olt Urban Schlaffer from 9/ZG 76 was captured on 16th August 1940 after he crash landed following combat with Spitfires.
Hope this helps.
