Hi John, thanks for the reply. Over in the Axis/Luftwaffe section I got this reply:

First, 325FG spotted a couple of Me 109s attacking Russian bombers. US pilots attacked and the result was one Me 109 shot down.
Second one was reported as damaged. As to the unit, it is hard to say, but JG 53 was active in the area of the front those days.
Fw 190 which later attacked and McDaniel became ace in a day belonged to Hungarian 102/I. Schlachtgroup, which lost in fact only 4 planes. Three diue to enemy fire, fourth was collision with telephone cables.
Luftwaffe lost that day in the area 6 Fw 190s of SG 2 as well.
Hope this helps a bit.
As to the casualties on US side... Adamson fell victim to guns of Hungarian pilot Lajos Varga. Second lost pilot Murphy landed on the Russian side of the front and made it to Russian units and home.
Hope these bits and pieces helps..."

Cheers, MP
