Unknown pilot near Abbeville
 

Hello.
Research for a pilot. Found in the local news paper archives :

February 17th, 1945 Huppy (Somme).
Discovery of the corpse of a German airman
Workers of the company Petit of Abbeville, in charge of the reconstruction of Mr Wattebled's house brought to light, during the works, the rests of a German airman. On January 5th, 1944 the house Wattebled was completely destroyed following the fall of a German fighter. When the workers discovered the corpse, the pea jacket of the German pilot was almost intact, as well as the national identity plate n° 68680

I asked Wast in Berlin, but roll is incomplete. Anybody of the assistance has information on the identity of this pilot (and his plane) ? I found nothing in the JG2 and the JG26 in this date. Thank you for your help.

Fredo, there is Fw. Hermann GREEVE (not Friedrich) died on 05.01.1944, in the cemetery of BOURDON, it is probably him.

Greeve (born 23 Mar 21 in Minden) was EKM 68680/6 but the NVM (which I have) was not updated but my records confirm he was killed at Huppy
