Re: JG 301 mission on 17 Dec 44
For what it's worth 37 years after publication, Werner Girbig's "Six Months to Oblivion" (aka «Start im Morgengrauen») devotes a section to 17 December 1944. After describing the actions over the Ardennes, he talks of JG 300 taking on B-24s coming up from the Gulf of Trieste over SE Germany and the Sudetenland. He says JG 300 lost 23 aircraft and pilots but doesn't mention JG 301.
