Ogfr. Hermann Hillebrand JG 26
Ogfr. Hermann Hillebrand of 7./JG 26 was reported MIA near Aachen on 16.09.1944. I believe he was recovered not that long ago near Welkenraedt/Belgium. He is buried at Lommel Block 57, Grave 5.
Does anybody have information on his recovery (when, where?). I seem to have lost my notes on this case. Thanks, John |

Re: Ogfr. Hermann Hillebrand JG 26
Good evening John,
from "Jägerblatt" 4/2002, p.56: "(151/02) Ogefr. Hermann Hillebrand, nicht Hildebrand, 7./JG 26 „Schlageter“ flog Fw 190 A-8, WNr. 172962, Kennung „Braune 4“, wurde durch US-Jäger am 16.9.44 um 17.45 Uhr abgeschossen. ... Im April 2002 wurden die sterblichen Überreste von Hillebrand in Welkenraedt, etwa 16 km südöstlich Aachen durch das belgische Bergungsteam BAHA geborgen. Familienangehörige wurden gefunden, Beerdigung wird in Lommel erfolgen." Hope this helps, Heuser |
