talking of Ofw. 'Ronny' Lauer - Horn has no losses for 02 October 1944, just a couple of accidents. This is the date given in most sources (Smith/Creek, Hess etc..) for the first 9th AF Me 262 victory with Lauer as victim, forced down by 365th FG P-47s in the vicinity of Njimegen. Horn has Lauer sustaining serious injuries in 9K+NL (WNr. 170 069) crashing on take off for his second sortie of the day..

(1) You're very kind.
(2) Pre-empting some far distant update to
my site, Ultra says that on 2 October Lauer was "slightly injured" in a take-off accident and 170069 was 98% damaged Two aircraft were duly reported off strength on the 3rd, Lauer's and the other accidental loss. Nothing about a combat loss.
