Information on Bf 109 G6 WNr. 18874

[Elsass48]

Hello
I am looking for information on Bf 109 G6 Werknummer 18874, which crashed in Rosheim in Alsace on 6th September 1943: name of pilot and markings of aircraft (for an exhibition).

The info I have is this:
Aus GQM-Verlustmeldung: 6.9.1943, Jgr. 50, Bf 109 G6 (WNr. 18874), 100%, Feindflug Molsheim (Elsaß); Absturz nach Luftkampf (Bordwaffenbeschuß B-17).
Jagdgeschwader 50 was led by ace Hermann Graf (attached a model of his Bf 109)

I have already looked in following books:
BERGSTRÖM Christer (2018). Graf & Grislawski: Zwei Fliegerasse. Offizielle Ausgabe der Traditionsgemeinschaft des Jagdgeschwaders 52 e.V. VDM Heinz Nickel, 368 p.
VOGT Harald Helmut (2012) – Messerschmitt Bf 109 – Einsatzmaschinen – Das Nachschlagewerk. VDM Heinz Nickel, 384 p.

Thanks for any help!

I put the question out on TORCH. Hope there will be response.

JG50 was in service only a very limited time: established in June 1943, dissolved October 1943 (when it became JG301)
RaFiGer - JG 50 - Jagdgeschwader 50, Info Seite Early Reichsverteidigung 1943 till 1944
based at Wiesbaden (Jagdgeschwader 50)

Some pictures of the unit can be found here:

Looks as if SN°18874 may be one of the German fighter aircraft lost during the USAF raid on Stuttgart on 6th Sept 1943.
Bombing of Stuttgart in World War II - Wikipedia
Either during the initial run when the bombers came in from UK, or (in my personal opinion more likely) during the attack run of the 96th and 388th Bomb Group on Strasbourg (being the secondary target for that day)

-> Maybe the USAF Mission Reports of these BG's give an indication when this aircraft was shot down around Strasbourg?

Yes you are right, it was during the USAF raid on Stuttgart, and Strasbourg was the secondary objective. Actually some B17's mistook Strasbourg for Stuttgart and bombed it too. The aircraft I am researching fell in Rosheim, 20 km West of Strasbourg, the unknown pilot parachuted safely.
