Rick, I see he is shown as a Glider Pilot so his death may not be aircraft linked he could have been lost in ground fighting after landing. Not certain if his loss would be the the airborne/para listings,

Hi Rickback444

You inquired about a Ludwig Hofmann a couple years ago. He was the pilot on my Uncle's JU-88 that went down 22 June 1943.

Would you mind reaching out to me please if you could. I would just like to see if you have any information or maybe photos with my uncle in them. And see if you have a photo of Hofmann. I have a photo of their original burial in 1943.

My uncle was Friedrich Arbe

Thank you

Daryl Goss

Would it be possible to obtain a copy of the photo you do have of Hofmann, etc you do have ?


I know my grandmother, the air gunner's sister (Friedrich Arbe was the air gunner) would love to see a photo of Hofmann. She is still alive and well at 95 yrs old here in Pennsylvania.

I have a photo of their original burial if you are interested. And know where they are all buried today.

Hack is the third name in the left hand column, Obj Flzf (Oberjäger Flugzeugführer) Hack.
