The four lost Hungarian Fw 190 F-8 pilots were: Majoros István hdgy. (2Lt.), Dobó Elek hdgy., Gyűjtő László hdgy. and Hargitai Károly fhdgy. (1Lt.), all KIA. Also, near Tótvázsony (Lake Balaton-N) two 2/SG.10 Fw 190F-8s were lost: Fw. Willibald Hofmeier (WNr. 586863, black „1“), Maj. Klaus-Ulrich von Stein-Lausnitz (+) (WNr. 586869, black „2“). This was a very busy and tragic day in Hungary: at least 14 more Soviet IL-2, 4 A-20 Bostons, 1 B-25 Mitchell, 2 La-5s and a Yak fighter was lost too. The 325th FG also lost 2 Mustangs this time beside a B-17G and a B-24L in the same area.
