Heinrich Hoffmann,RK mit EL

Heinrich Hoffmann went missing on Oct. 1941 over the Eastern Front after he had 63 air to air victories to his credit. He may have some unconfirmed victories as well. How was Hoffmann was shot down?

Re: Heinrich Hoffmann,RK mit EL

You mean Ofw Heinrich Hoffmann of 3./JG 77 and 12./JG 51 missing 3 Oct 41?. Googling his name comes up with a possible cause and name but I am sure that better men than I will be able to confirm one way or another
