"ve..glückte" --> need to complete the word

[Claudius]

Greetings;

I'm embarrassed to say I can't figure out what this word is. Some of the letters are missing and I can't figure out what it should be. Here is the word in the sentence.

Bei einem nächtlichen Bombenflug ve…glückte tödlich der Flugzeugführer

You can see how it is important to full understanding because in this one sentence there is a lot of information.

thank you,

[Great Dane]

"verunglückte" is my guess...

/Michael

[Naxos]

"verunglückte" is my guess...

/Michael

Agree, verunglückte tödlich = fatal accident

[Great Dane]

And the whole sentence would then be something like:

"During a nightly bombing raid, the pilot was fatally wounded"

/Michael

[Komtur]

And the whole sentence would then be something like:

"During a nightly bombing raid, the pilot was fatally wounded"

/Michael

Genau so würde ich es auch übersetzen

Grüße, Komtur.

You guys are great!

Thank you Michael (Great Dane),

Thank you Naxos,

and Thank you Komtur.

It was said before by others, and will be likely said in the future, but I will say it again now. I truly appreciate the people on this forum and their willingness to provide assistance.

My sincere regards,

Claudius
