Ofhr. Karl-Heinz Hankammer, IV./JG 54, +31.12.1944

Dear all,

is there any information available about the loss of Ofhr. Karl-Heinz Hankammer of IV./JG 54 (14./JG 54?) on 31.12.1944?

I found an entry that he was listed as missing on this day while flying Fw 190 A-8, 171 064 in RL 2/III/1171, but without any additional information about a location and circumstances.
AFAIK, 14./JG 54 was involved in aerial combats with RAF fighters in the Münster - Osnabrück area on 31.12.44.

Quite interesting: I received a photo of his today's graveside in his hometown, still "decorated" with two crossed MG131 and a bent propeller blade...

Thanks in advance,

Heuser
