[G.R.Morrison]

Dettmann was a war correspondent, not pilot. He had been reporting on the Luftwaffe since the war's beginning, and published a book of his experiences (Dettmann, Fritz, 40 000 kilometer feindflug uber Polen, Norwegen, Frankreich auf England! Ein kriegsberichter der luftwaffe erzahlt; Berlin, Im Deutschen verlag, c1940). He later wrote , My Friend Marseille, parts of which were repeated in Kurowski's biography.

He eventually became the editor-in-chief of the Wochenschau newsreels.
