Hans Troitzsch.

Does anyone know the fate of Oberfeldwebel Hans Troitzsch, and who has his pilot's logbook?
He was born 20 May 1916 in Heinrichswalde/East Prussia.
In a Bf 109 he shot down a Wellington on September 4, 1939 - likely the first German air victory of the war.
He had two more victories, but was so heavily wounded on Dec. 18, 1939, that he was withdrawn from frontline service.
In April 1940 he was in 6 Staffel, II. Gruppe, Jagdgeschwader 77, probably delivering new planes from the factories to the units.
In 1941 he was in 4 Staffel, Ergänzungs-Jagdgruppe Merseburg.
The last official posting was Flieger-Sanitätslager (Flyer Medical Camp) Quedlinburg.
He must have been still ill or wounded.
At the end of the war he was captured by American troops although where and by what unit is not recorded.
It is possible though nearly unlikely that his log book survived and is still preserved in the Archives.
Can anyone please add to this?
