Re: Luftwaffe Pilot Hubert Voss

Hi Hucks,

Thank you for your contribution. Just by coincidence I received additional info today which solves the mistery. The WASt Berlin informed us that Ltn. Hubert Voss (born 19 Feb.1924 in Ahlen/Westfalen) died on 3rd May 1945 near Deggendorf. He served with 13./KG55 with Oberst Baer (Unternehmen Bienenstock) before July 1944. He was exhumed from Deggendorf Cemetery to Kriegsgräberstätte Hofkirchen im Donautal near Vilshofen/Niederbayern. The source who asked me to look for info must have made a mistake with KG53 this must be KG55.
The 9th USAAF flew a.o. some armed reconnaissance missions over Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia in the frontline areas and this is exactly the same area (Deggendorf) in which Voss came down. It is assumed that he was involved in a combat with Gunners of A-26 Invaders of 9th AF and was shot down. Maybe the Kracker Archive can use this additional info for their website.
Regards,
Peter Monasso
