Can you check unit and date. The only loss in the Karlsruhe area this day suffered 390th BG, 571st BS, B-17 42-29991, MACR # 858. All crew POW. If there are no casualies reported by eyewhitnesses, maybe this is your machine. German claims this day don't match to the area as well. Best wishes ! Horst Weber

Klaus and Horst if 42-29991 is the one this link might help, http://www.americanairmuseum.com/aircraft/3944 the location it gives is to the east of Karlsruhe while Unterowisheim is more to the north/east,
