Hptm Klaus Quaet-Faslem

Good night to all!
On 30th January 1944, Hptm Klaus Quaet-Faslem, Gruppenkommandeur of I/JG 3 took off to intercept 8th AF bombers attacking the Reich.
He was shot down and killed on this mission. I do need some information, if available:
1- Where he was shot down? ( The place and hour of the crash )
2- Codes + Werknummer of his Bf 109, if possible.
3- Total number of missions flown by this ace.

Many thanks
Adriano Baumgartner
PS: Was his last victory that achieved over a 544 Squadron´s PR Mosquito?

Hi John!
Thanks a lot for the information! I thought he was killed either by B-17 defensive gunfire or by escort fighters of the 8th AF!
You clarified it.
Yours
Adriano
