Uffz. Helmut Gabert, KIA 22.03.1945

[Heuser]

Gentlemen,

recently I came across an Uffz. Helmut Gabert, killed on or around 22.03.1945 in the area NW of Wiesbaden.

Gaberts "last known unit" is given with II./JG 2, so he may have been killed on 22.03.1945 in aerial combat with 353.FS.

Is there any information about his loss or confirmation about his membership in JG 2 available?

Regards,

Heuser

Gents,

Thank you for this information - it is the first time I come across the name of Uffz. Gabert.
