Theo,
Mathews and Foreman: Luftwaffe Aces: Biographies and Victory Claims lists a Christian Eichhoff as flying with 2./JG 2 during the second half of 1944, also Erg.JGrOst. They show 14 victories from June 6, 1944 to Oct 20 1944. And state that he became the last Kommandeur of I./JG 2 on March 26, 1945, and survived the war. They note that he may have had earlier claims.

I suspect that this is your Heinz Eichhoff.

Enjoy!

Frank.
