Re: Ofw. Karl Hiller

Ofw. Karl Hiller tells in the Aérojournal-article he was pursuited by a P-51 and he was flying to the east for a while with a damaged aircraft. In the book “Bodenplatte The Luftwaffe’s Last Hope” 1./Lt. Nelson R. Jesup (flying a P-51 from Y-29) tells that he chased a FW-190 for a considerable time which fled for Germany. After a while the FW-190 went down in a spiral. Soon after, 1./Lt. Nelson R. Jesup was attacked by a Typhoon (Eindhoven base?) and he went back to Y-29. Another story from “Bodenplatte The Luftwaffe’s Last Hope” is that a Spitfire pilot from No.414 Squadron F/O Wally Woloschuk was returning to base when he succeeded in destroying a FW-190 west of Roermond at around 10hrs. Possible that Ofw. Karl Hiller's late FW-190, coming from Y-29, wanted to get home after the initial attack? Maybe those individual stories are related to each other? This can declare the notation in the the ADI(K) No.149/1945 that he was shot down by a Spitfire. Though the hour “about 0900 hours” in the the ADI(K) No.149/1945 seems not match with "around 10hrs."…
