JG 105 in Chartres (France, 1943)

Hi,

Please who could help me to read the correct handwriting on the back side of this photo :
" Franz. Jager Dewoitine [D-520],
mit Lt. Kaniath (?), Uffz. Kûhn und Uffz Martin,
Chartres 1943".

Can we correct this sentence ? Do we know something about these German flyers ?
Thank you
Philippe

You could have a try by typing in the last names of these German pilots in the Kracker Luftwaffe Archive database on AircrewRemembered[dot]com:
http://aircrewremembered[dot]com/KrackerDatabase/

(in which the text [dot] should be replaced by a real dot: ".")

Watch out: Kühn is spelt with an Umlaut and while searching "Martin": This is a last name (it appears many times in the database as it also is a German first name...)

I can't read the exact spelling of "Kaniath" - this might be a different name - maybe someone else has a better idea on this one or can confirm the spelling..?

Good luck,
Piet

Lt. Rudolf Karioth became wounded on 26.11.44 while flying A Fw 190A-8 with 10./JG 301.

There are nine loss reports for a pilot "Uffz. Kühn" and four for "Uffz. Martin" in the years 1943 to 1945. No chance to identify the correct ones.
