AAA Claims by US Army of Luftwaffe aircraft
 

Is there somewhere a comprehensive list of all AAA claims of the US Army during their campaigns in western Europe? Looking for dates, areas and units...

Cheers,

John

Ed, that doesn’t work when pasted into a browser, it seems to be a file location on a Windows PC. Can you have another try?

Thanks.

Yep, would like to know what Ed intended to share....:-)

I was surprised when a direct link was not generated. By cutting the above and pasting it into google, it brings up the PDF file. Let me know if that does not work.

Nope, that does not work....it is a link to a downloaded file on your own harddisk....

Thanks for the document. Hopefully there are more of these "collective" reports or somebody researched these units....

In the UK National Archives are copies of the monthly SHAEF Air Defense Review which have similar content to Ed’s posting, but these are only on paper.

Since these were published, not just filed,, I’d imagine that copies would survive in one or more American archives as well.

The NCA in the Dec 44/Jan 45 period has a number of NJG aircraft shot down by AA on night ground attack operations.

Re: AAA Claims by US Army of Luftwaffe aircraft
 

Okay, to be more specific....currently I am especially looking for AAA Claims (US or UK) for the nights of;

26/27.9.1944
27/28.9.1944
6/7.10.1944

Roughly in the area Aachen-Nijmegen (so quite large)

Thanks,
John

The NCA volume for this period has nothing for the 2 nights in Sept but for 6/7 Oct 44 it has 2 Ju 88Gs shot down by allied AA:
3C+AR 7/NJG 4 shot down US AA 6 km east of Maastrich at 2200 hrs
11?NJG 1 crash near Amay Belgium 2000 hrs or possibly shot down Mosquito 410 Sqn

4 Bf 110s were also downed this night
G9+MN 5/NJG 1 downed Mosquito 409 Sqn
G9+HN 6/ NJG 1 downed Mosquito 219 sqn
G9+EC stab II/ NJG1 possibly US P-61 422nd NFS
G9+HN 5/NJG 1 "friendly" flak

there is a map in this volume that shows the crash locations
24 July-15 October 1944 part 4

I know the NCA series, but that concerns NJ....I am trying to understand the losses of III./KG 51 (NSG 20).

For what it's worth, a comprehensive overview of the AA Artillery situation and a map showing the positions of AAA defenses against the V-1 in Antwerp.
