German Uffz. Hellmut Pittmann 22-10-1943 Friday 1./JG26

1943-10-22, 1./JG 26, Fw190A-4 /R1, 145555, 3 weiße, Ekeren, 6 km nördlich Antwerpen, Hindernisberührung. Bruch 100 %.
Flugzeugführer Uffz Pittmann, Hellmut, + 22-10-1943 Friday
Matti

KIFA 22 October, 1943 when, blinded by the sun, he hit a church steeple and crashed in Antwerp while looking for the airfield. Buried Lille-Harbourdin, Block 5/2/61, next to Raimund Rösner (Rosseels). WIA 15 September, 1943 during aerial combat in "Black 15" with B-26 escort Spitfires. His AC sustained engine damage and he managed to crash land at Nivillers, destroying the AC and breaking many bones. One known victory, a Spitfire of RAF No 131 Sq. at Bergen-op-Zoom, N of Walcheren, on 18 August, 1943. Author Caldwell has the name as Hans, and later Helmut, both claiming the same victory, so I am assuming Hans & Hellmut are one in the same. His Obit card uses the name Hellmut.
