I can concur with Matti that the EM number is B65153/21. This is also in his Soldbuch. The NVM lists a number without a B and is difficult to read, so you could see variations.

RAF Crashed Enemy Aircraft Report No. 264 lists the following loss;
Fw 190, Opglabbeek, WN.682792, BMW801, Burned out and looted.

This is von Fassong's a/c, so we know he crashed near Opglabbeek. Must have been one of the unknowns that have been buried at Margraten (likely) or Lommel (less likely).

When Ron passed away I took over his Bodenplatte material. This was primarily Allied as after a few years of research we decided he would do the Allied side and I the German side. All information that was double or was other information (he was working on several projects) is now at the NIMH (Dutch Armed Forces Military Historical Institute) in The Hague and can be researched. Unfortunately his final research (last couple of years) was all digital and that was lost.
