I have the information that Uffz. Höchtl was killed on the way to his squadron near the water airport of Belgrade-Semlin (Serbia). I think the 7./J.G. 27 was not stay in Germany in April 1944.

Kaczmarek, you are of course right. It was in Jugoslavien, as stated in the Sterbebild. Terrible mistake in my database, whose origin I cannot understand.
