Hugo Dahmer (7 May 1918 – 1 August 2006) was a German Luftwaffe ace and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross during World War II.

During this engagement, Dahmer claimed a Morane-Saulnier M.S.406 fighter shot down near Tournai.
Since the Armée de l'air reported no losses in this area of operations, the opponents may have been Royal Air Force (RAF) Hawker Hurricane fighters from No. 615 Squadron who lost three Hurricanes and claimed one Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter shot down.
On 28 May during the Battle of Dunkirk, Dahmer claimed a Supermarine Spitfire fighter shot down over the Thames Estuary.

The presentation was made by Hauptmann Horst Carganico, the Gruppenkommandeur of I. Gruppe of JG 77.
On 17 August 1943, Dahmer was appointed Staffelkapitän (squadron leader) of 1.

The Staffel was subordinated to I. Gruppe of JG 2 under command of Hauptmann Erich Hohagen.
On 11 September, Dahmer was shot down in aerial combat with Supermarine Spitfire and Republic P-47 Thunderbolt fighters.
Although he managed to bail out of his Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-5 (Werknummer 1171) 5 km north of Rouen, Dahmer was severely injured.
According to US historian David T. Zabecki, Dahmer was credited with 57 aerial victories.

Victory claims were logged to a map-reference (PQ = Planquadrat), for example "PQ 14 West 4967".
