Luftwaffe fighter pilot of World War ll
Not long ago, a few years at most, a civic authority in Germany or Austria decided that it was unspeakable to have, as was in fact the case, a grave stone in a local cemetery to mark the resting place of a leading Luftwaffe fighter pilot of World War ll.
That stone was therefore removed abd, as I recall, the pilot's remains moved to an unmarked grave.
Can anyone help me: (a) Who was the pilot? and (b) What was the place?

Davaar, you are probably thinking about the outrageous insult bestowed on the Major Walter Nowotny by some Austrian tree-huggers in 2003.
'Nowi' was well-respected by both Allied and Axis aircrew alike.
