Re: Lt.Helmut Winkler and crew missing 29.9.42. 5/KG53.

i think:

"bombenschütze" = bombardier = shooter who triggers the bombs in the aircraft.
"bordschütze" = gunner = gunner firing from an aircraft with a machine gun or cannon.

edit:
matti is right, a bombardier has an observer training course ...

regards
