Ofw. Karl Hiller

Thanks for this. A new lead to explore, but first transelate the french text. Personally I think he was in hospital in Eindhoven or there was a mistake about the writting of the location EindHOVEN-OpHOVEN?

After I have read the story of Ofw. Karl Hiller in Aérojournal N°28 (2003), I do think that his crashsite has to be located somewhere in the triangle Budel-Venlo-Sittard (Netherlands). The coordinate K490688 (CER 264) is in my opinion the location where he was intercepted by American P-47-P-51’s. As there are witnesses who state there was no crashsite at this location in As. At some 500m to the northeast from K490688 there is the crashsite of Uffz. Kurt Nüssle. Furthermore I have a story from an eye-witness who tells that a German plane was chased by an American plane and both overflew the village of Dorne in the direction of Neeroeteren. An eye-witness in Neeroeteren in turn states that a German fighter went down at or near Stamproy (Netherlands). Does anybody has some leads to do further research on this? Anybody knows about people who do crashsite-research in the triangle Budel-Venlo-Sittard?

If the Crashed Enemy Aircraft Reports report a coordinate as crash site then that is the crash site (give or take a few 100 metres). However, it is sometimes possible that the coordinates contain a wrong number.

Is there any explanation why there is written {Holland} in the CER?
