Luftwaffenkommando West war diary for 20 September 1944:
Only small-scale reconnaissance operations were carried out during the day owing to weather conditions.
Four Bf 109 of NAG 13 operated between Aachen and Nancy but broke off due to bad weather. There is no mention of any combat and all returned safely.
Several claims were made by fighters on both the 19th and 21st however.
