Heinze, Martin
- Nationality:

Biography
He flew in Bf 110s from 1940 through to 1944 and has two confirmed kills while flying with 6./ZG 1:
1. Spitfire near Trapani, Tunisia on 26th April 1943 - fits perfectly with Spitfire Mk IX EN294 of 72 Squadron, flown by Pilot Officer F. Malan, who was last seen chasing a Bf 110 and posted Missing in Action.
2. B-24 Liberator near Gmunden, Austria on 23rd February 1944 shot down using MG 81 (twin machine-guns). The USAAF 376th Bomber Group lost seven B-24s in that area on that day so a match is quite possible.
