Re: Fw. Gerhard Guttman, JG26, shot down 27 march 44
8./JG 26 was part of III. Gruppe (JG 26). At the date of your crash, they were based at Etain, France (this is near Verdun and seems along way from your crash site). At the time in March 1944, I believe they were equipped with the Bf 109G-6. If it was a P-47 that shot him down, the likely candidate(s) are 8th or 9th USAAF.
P.S. I did a Google of "Gerhard Guttmann". A Uffz. Gerhard Guttmann of JG 26 is recorded with 10 air victories. In January 1944, he was flying a Fw 190, possibly an A-6?.
