Ju 290 9V+DK / Hptm. Karl-Friedrich Bergen

[Andreas Dillmann]

Hi everybody,

this is my first time on this forum. I am a relative of Hptm. Karl-Friedrich Bergen of Fernaufklaerungsgruppe 5 (based at Mont de Marsan, France), who was shot down over the Atlantic on February 16th, 1944 with his Ju 290 A-5 9V+DK. In an older thread on this forum (August 2008), Chris Goss and others provided valuable information about the fate of KF Bergen and his crew, and also the names of the RAF pilots who brought them down.

Karl-Friedrich Bergen had two children (1 and 3 years old at the time of his death). His son Bernd died last year, but his daughter Gisela is still alive and woul appreciate any information about her father's fate. Therfore, I would be grateful for any source of information. And if Chriss Goss reads this: Where did you get your information of August 2008 from?
