About a Halifax shot down on 22/23 May 1944 near Blois

About a Halifax shot down on 22/23 May 1944 near Blois
I am searching any details, infos concerning the German pilot who shot down a Halifax on 22/23 May 1944 near Blois.
I am studying this crash. The pilot I met always related about a FW 190 (?!)and, Midnight or 1 AM.
Who could have response ?? I do not find . Did the Luftwaffe pilot went down after his victory ??
Merci
Phil.
