He achieved his first aerial victory on February 6, 1944 against an La-5. In June 2./JG 54 was relocated to the Western Front to join III/JG 54. Dortenmann had claimed 14 victories by this time and on June 20, 1944 was promoted to Staffelkapitän of 2./JG 54. The unit was later redesignated 12./JG 54.
