30/31 May 42 Cologne Luftwaffe losses
 
Can anyone provide me with a list of Luftwaffe losses during the 30/31 May 1942 RAF 1000 plane raid on Cologne? I know that NJG 1 suffered at least 1 WIA and Intruder Hurricannes of 3 Sqn claimed 0-2-3. Any help would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Doug. From my notes from Schnaufer Ace of Diamonds has a Ltn Niklas "severly injured" on this date. He was from II/NJG 1.
