Re: Unidentified K.I.A. Luftwaffe Pilot
The relevant OKL FüSt Ic Morgenmeldung West from 25.4.45 records:

NJG11 5 Me 109
Gleicher Auftrag im Raum Dillingen-Bopfingen - Würzburg von 2103 - 2254.

Erfolge: 3 LKW in Brand geschossen, 1 Eisenbahnzug SW Gunzenhausen mit guter Wirkung beschossen.

Verluste p: 0 - 1 - 0. m: 0 - 1 - 0.

So, Research1's original hypothesis fits the loss given at the specified date, time, and location.

The only other Nachtschlacht sorties that night were by NSG1 (Ju87), NJG2 (Ju88), and NJG6 (Ju88 & Bf110) with one aircraft (likely a Ju88) and four men reported missing.
