Lt Alfred Dahlinger 7./KG6

[Dave Somerset]

This is a message for those among you who collect photographs, especially the ones of crashed Luftwaffe aircraft.

On 8 June 1944 a Ju 188 A-2 was shot down by a Mosquito of RAF 29 Squadron near Bretigny and crashed at Marolles-en-Hurepoix. Werk# 180450, code 3E+CR and the pilot was Lt Alfred Dahlinger. There is a combat report filed by Fl/Lt Barry and Sub/Lt Porter (RN) who were in the Mosquito.

I have been contacted by Lt Dahlinger’s nephew, Christian. He believes some photographs of the crashed Ju 188 were taken at the time and would like to add them to his research into the incident. I suggested trying here but his registration has been blocked, "Sorry, registration has been disabled by the administrator".

The word photographs here includes cine gun film taken by the Mosquito crew as the combat report indicates some was obtained.

If anybody has the photographs or knows where they can be accessed then please could he/she email Christian Dahlinger direct at chdahlinger@hotmail.com

Many thanks from both of us.
