Hi.

The Jagdwaffe reported close to 100 (99 to be precise) aircraft damaged or lost due to enemy action in the air on this date. And as a lot of the units mentioned operated in the defense of the reich role in the general area, I guess one has to start ruling them out one by one to find a list of suspects.
