JG1 Fw 190A-8 Shot down 21.11.44

Hello fellow researchers!

Can anyone supply me with further information regarding the loss of Ofw Arno Potzel on the 21st November 1944. Arno was flying Wnr.175007 - Red 6 when shot down in combat with P-51 Mustangs. Does anyone know which American pilot shot him down? Does anyone have a photo of Potzel?
Where is the grave of Arno Potzel?

If anyone can give me any answers to my questions I would very much like to hear from you. One last thing, Potzel came down at Roda/Erfurt.

Thanks in advance.

You can narrow the groups down to "SW Merseburg" and "Erfurt area" awards - which leads to 352nd FG (12 Fw 190 in that area) and 359th FG (8 Fw 190 in that area)and 364th FG (5 Fw 190s in that area).

If you know the exact time you might narrow it down further by looking at the Encounter Reports
