Fw 190 loss 28. Sept. 1944

Does anybody know which 9. AF unit claims a Fw 190 of JG 2 25 km south of Koblenz (St. Goarshausen area) at this day?

Regards, Heuser

Re: Fw 190 loss 28. Sept. 1944

I´ve got some more details about this loss:
Fw 190 A-8, Werk.Nr 171 531, Gefr. Richard Himpel (1./JG 2),
and a problem:
-"Luftkampf mit P-47" (German sources)
-"Shot down in combat with two Mustangs" (eyewitness)

Did anybody have further informations about claims of USAAF-units in this area for that day?

Every information is welcome,

Regards, Heuser

(And a big THANK YOU to "Kaczmarek" from Luftarchiv.de)

341 & 411 Sqns each claimed 2 aircraft (no details) whilst American fighters claimed 27. American claims appeared to be in the Magdeburg/Halberstadt area although there were 3 claims in the Arnhem area and a FW 190 at Bingen

Thank you very much!
Bingen is only 15 km away from the crashsite...

Best Regards, Heuser
