Unknown pilot near Abbeville

Hello.
Research for a pilot. Found in the local news paper archives :


February 17th, 1945 Huppy (Somme).
Discovery of the corpse of a German airman
Workers of the company Petit of Abbeville, in charge of the reconstruction of Mr Wattebled's house brought to light, during the works, the rests of a German airman. On January 5th, 1944 the house Wattebled was completely destroyed following the fall of a German fighter. When the workers discovered the corpse, the pea jacket of the German pilot was almost intact, as well as the national identity plate n° 68680

I asked Wast in Berlin, but roll is incomplete. Anybody of the assistance has information on the identity of this pilot (and his plane) ? I found nothing in the JG2 and the JG26 in this date. Thank you for your help.

Greeve (born 23 Mar 21 in Minden) was EKM 68680/6 but the NVM (which I have) was not updated but my records confirm he was killed at Huppy
