Hi Rick

Ludwig Hofmann was part of my uncle's flight crew that went down in June 1943. My uncle was Friedrich Arbe.

Please reach out to me and we could exchange information.

Thanks Matti

I really appreciate it. Is there a way to "private message" Rickback4444 or something ?

I imagine he is a relative or something of one of my uncle's fellow crew members, Ludwig Hofmann. My uncle was Friedrich Arbe.

Hi Rickback4444

I have a photograph of the original burial of Ludwig Hofmann that was taken at the Charkow Cemetery in June 1943. And now he is buried in the Kharkov German Soldiers Cemetery beside his crew members again.

Would it be possible to post the Sterbebild that you have of Ludwig Hofmann ?

Thank you so much. I can't wait to show this to my grandmother. She said that she met the crew during a break my uncle had.
