Werner Ilgen (JG3 / TG1) ???

Dears,

I need support, if somebody could check for me more data about following pilot ? :
23.06.44 - 8/JG3 Obfhr. Werner Ilgen, KIA P-51,Gouville, parachute 100%, Bf109G-6 , Werk no.:165209 , Black 6+I

In my data exist one crew member of I./TG1 with the same name but another rank: Fw. Werner Ilgen he was wireless operator (Bordfunker) on board Ju52 (aircraft loosed March 1945 East Front).
It seems to me Werner Ilgen could be moved to I./TG1 after Juni 1944 - maybe was only WIA not KIA (and could be not fighter pilot later) ? Or we have two different persons with the same name ?
(It could be good to get his details where he was born and date).

BR
Kris

Thank You !
So I still looking for more information about Fw. Werner Ilgen but from I./Transportgeschwadre 1(possible survived IIWW).I know that 2 persons escaped from point of emergency landing Ju52.One was POW and 4th crew member was KIA.I think Fw. Werner Ilgen could be one of lucky crew member.
