11 Feb 1943 Luftwaffe losses

According to the book "Operation Don's Main Attack The Soviet Southern Fronts advance on Rostov January-February 1943 Page 508

11 Feb 43 the RKKA 51st army's AA claimed 2 Ju 88 and 1 bf 110 and captures 5 POWs. This is in the Aksaiskaia area East of Rostov.

I know ZG 1 had no losses this day anyone have any info on any other Luftwaffe losses in this area?

I should add that according to the Soviet records in this book the Luftwaffe bombed and attacked Soviet ground forces more than a few times. Recon is also mentioned. What's going on in the air can be found in BCRS vol 4

Enough a/c lost in that general area. He 111's, Ju 88 and also a Bf 110 from Aufklärer. Not sure if they all are in that specific area
