I am trying to determine the fate of a German (presumably) Luftwaffe fighter pilot, Leutnant Erick Bodendieck of 4./JG 53. On Sunday 11 August, 1940, this pilot engaged a Blenheim T 1850 of 107 Squadron RAF "over Dinan and pursued it to the French coast" where it was shot down. This information appears in the recently released book by Larry Donnelly, "The Other Few" (2004). I have a personal interest in the circumstances of the Blenheim pilot, Squadron Leader J. B. Fyfe. The Donnelly information came to us only today. Any information on Leutnant Bodendieck would be appreciated. Luftwaffe detail is not my area. I am presuming the '4' refers to a staffeln, not a gruppe. We know that the Fyfe crew have no known grave. Any information on just what became of Bodendieck would be appreciated.

Michael
