Uffz Karl-Heinz Böhmke

[Dave Somerset]

Please can anyone help me with the circumstances of this man's death. He died on 24 November 1943 at an unknown location and is now buried in Wuppertal. I don't know the details about his aircraft or crew but he is understood to have been the pilot of a Ju 88. Thank you in advance if you can help. Dave

I note there is a difference in the dates (14 v 24 November).
Presumably a typo somewhere.

Thank you Matti. The date I used came from the VDK and there do seem to be some errors in their information. Dave
