Re: Ofw. Karl Hiller
Thank you for the replies. In the book "Bodenplatte The Luftwaffe's Last Hope" it is written that Karl Hiller was able to crash-land after he was hit by a P-47 and P-51. P-47's and P-51's were indeed in the air above Y-29 at that moment. It is also assumed that the information about Ofw. Karl Hiller being shot down by a Spitfire in the Eindhoven area is not likely to be true. In my opinion it is most possible that his crash happened in the Y-29 area. Furthermore it is written in the Crashed Enemy Report No. 264 that there was a crash at M.R. K/490688 (Holland). I don't know what "M.R." stands for. But when we convert this coordinate its location is in As, Belgium (not Holland) near Y-29. Maybe there is a link to the crashsite of Ofw. Karl Hiller? And that Karl Hiller crashed at As instead of Eindhoven?
