JG2 losses 16th March 1944 France
 

Hi from France,
For my first post, I am looking for the list of JG2 ( probably III./JG2) losses on 16th march 1944.
US bombers were attacked at 10.40 in Chalons-Vitry-St Dizier area, France.
Tony wood lists 4 US bombers shot down by JG2 pilots ( included Huppertz and Wurmheller).
I have a local witness that a german fighter was shot down by B17's SE Chalons at 10.30 , pilot parachuted but badly wounded. I presume he was from JG2...
JG 26 entered in action too, from St Dizier airfield, but later I think ...not sure.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards
Granville
