Re: Losses? JG27 24 April, JG300 11 Sep 1944
 

Heuser - this sounds like a probable match. Were the JG76 losses in the 1150-1215 timeframes (Brit time) S of Kassel, North of Wetzlar? The 355th axis of engagement - any specific pilots identified?

It looks like the 355th attacked approx 2 staffels S of Kassel and chased the Germans in a South to SE (Fritzlar to Bad Hersfeld) and South to SW (Fritzlar to Marburg) from Kassel. I doubt that the 354FS got as far as Eschege in 15 minutes so the downed 109s would be west of the Fritlar/Bad Hersfeld line.

Thanks so much - does it still seem like JG76 to you? Where were the JG53 losses.

Regards,
Bill

The timeframe is nearly the same, 1145-1205, but in German time (identical?). Area: SW/SE Kassel, Hessisch Lichtenau, Eschwege, Mühlhausen, Eisenach. Werner Girbig writes about P-51 of 55th and 359th FG.

I found different informations about III./JG 53, sourcing on Mr. Prien this unit suffered losses in the Nürnberg area, Girbig writes about losses in the Marburg -Gießen area, which should be correct.

Dont know if it helps but it seems that the majority of JG300 losses this day was ofcourse 190's except for these three pilot:

12./JG 300 : Lt. Ulrich Pieplow KIA emergency landing aftercombat, Diedenhofen; in Bf109G-6

3./JG 300 : Fw. Manfred SCHNEIDER MIA near Mackenrode, Fritzlar area; in Bf109G-6AS

1./JG 300 : Uffz. Horst VÖLKERT WIA after parachute jump, Frankenau/Fritzlar area; in Bf109G-14A

Kind regards Nick

Andreas - I am very interested in any format you have - my key timeframe is 1330-1430 (British time) surrounding Munich region.

Nick - thanks for Fw190 reference on JG300. All of the German a/c shot down by 355th were 109's on September 11. Ditto April 24

Thank you

Bill
