Defense of Kiel July 29th 1943

Hello,
I was hoping to confirm if the Luftwaffe suffered any losses or damage to aircraft on July 29th 1943 during the early morning raid on the docks at Kiel?

Its just to compare to newspaper reports from a surviving US POW who said his crew took down 8 fighters before they themselves were shot into the sea. I expect it was just for the benefit of the newspaper.

I've looked at http://lesliesawyer.com/claims/tonywood.htm

I'd be correct is saying that JG1 and JG11 were the main protaganists on that morning. The JG11 wiki page (I know, I know) says only one JG11 a/c was damaged.

Thanks in advance everyone
