Hi Kris,

For 21 February 1945 I have D-9 losses from III./JG 2, 6./JG 26, III./JG 54 and II./JG 301. However, none of them occurred anywhere near Salzwedel and, as far as my information goes, none of them could be attributed to 316 (Polish) Squadron.

To be more precise, three III./JG 2 D-9s were lost in accidents due to fuel starvation; one 6./JG 26 D-9 was shot down by own FLAK; III./JG 54 lost one D-9 (see John's reply) and two damaged in a surprise attack from 362 FG / 378 FS P-47s, and a single D-9 of II./JG 301 was lost near Glogau (Głogów) in air combat (no further information available).

I hope this is of help.

Cheers,

Marc
