Hptm Fritz Keller II./JG 27 17 December 1944
 

On 17 December 1944 the Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG 27, Hptm Fritz Keller, was shot down and wounded, probably at Vlatten, Germany.

I would like to confirm the above and to add the usuals details (Bf 109 subtype, WNr).

Thanks in advance

Laurent

Thanks again Matti

According to the book "Start in Morgengrauen", Keller was shot down by P-47s over Vlatten, southwest of Zülpich:
