Me 109 G-6 WNr. 166221 Erich Hartmann

[Me 109 K-4]

Hello,

I'm looking for infos on Me 109 G-6 WNr. 166221 of Erich Hartmann.
He scored his 300th victory with this aircraft on August 23rd, 1944.

From my records, I know that this aircraft was built by Messerschmitt Regensburg in July 1944 and was delivered to the Luftwaffe at the end of July or at the beginning of August 1944.
At the time Hartmann scored his 300th victory the aircraft was therefore brand new and it seems that he did not fly it for long.
As he left 9./JG 52 after is 300th victory, the aircraft would likely have been passed on to another pilot.

Has anyone any further info on this aircraft? Perhaps a loss report (Verlustmeldung) or a record in a pilots flight log?

Many thanks in advance,
Matthias
