Re: Fate of Lt. Heinz Eichhoff, pilot serving with 2./JG2 in the summer of 1943?
Hello,
I am in touch with both families.
Indeed, like I wrote in the JG 2 chronicle Christian Eickhoff was born in China where his family had a good position. He wanted to go back to Germany in order to fight for the Reich which was in total opposition with his father's will. He had to escape has family and caught a boot in secret to Germany.
He was KIA as Stk. of 2./JG 2.
Heinz Eichhoff was posted in April 1943 to 2./JG 2. He took part to his Staffel's reconversion as night-fighter in Summer 1943 - like detailled in the chronicle JG 2. He survived the war.
