Are there any listings for the Ju 52 losses for this night please, mission dropping Fallschirmjager in support of the Battle of the Bulge. The only one I have is the 'K' report for G6+DU of 10/TG4, any help greatly appreciated,

Matti, thank you very much for this information it is a great help to me. The 'K' report for G6+MU says it was hit by AA went into a dive and broke up crashing east of Aachen at 0245 hrs. Bm Uffz Joseph Hinkelbein is shown as a prisoner slightly injured,
