Somebody recently posted a website that listed Hartmann's kills with some altitudes for most.
With the search function disabled it isn't easy to find it again, but I copied the data for his 352 awarded victories into Excel.
There were 319 altitudes recorded in his 352 kills and the average of all 319 is 2,608.37 m (8,557.6 ft).
The highest was 6,500 m (21,325.4 ft).
The lowest was 20 m (65.6 ft).
Of course, as was pointed out, this was on the Russian Front, not in western Europe. Just thought I'd post it since I was interested and thought somebody else might be, too.
