Fw. Wilhelm Küken

Hello all,

Fw. Wilhelm Küken, a successful DK-G holder with at least 45 victory claims (gained with III./JG 51) was reported killed on 2 April 1944, presumably while serving with JGr.Ost. Does anybody have the usual loss data for this pilot.
Many thanks in advance for any help.

Oberfeldwebel Wilhelm Küken

Hi guys

Just one question: would anyone here have an account at ancestry.com for it appears there is a photograph of this particular ace available at that genealogical web site. Unfortunately one has to have an account otherwise all one can access is a small thumbnail.

Horrido!

Leo
