Hi guys,

Can anyone help me on info on
Bordfunker Ulrich Korte, born 17 Dec 1920 at Ilsenburg

As far as I know he went missing at the end of July 1942 over the English Channel or North Sea

Any help on Korte or the a/c he was flying in would be much appreciated.

Regards, Bas Maathuis

Just the info I have been looking for:

Here is the pilots licence of Leutnant Wolfgang Graf von und zu Hoensbroech and the photo of Gefreiter Ulrich Korte from the Vermisstenbildliste.
