Re: Defense of Kiel July 29th 1943
Close, although I think you need to turn it around: 48-6-33 = forty-eight shot down, six probably shot down, and thirty-three damaged.
The hail of fire that greeted the oncoming Jagdflieger was certainly deadly, there are plenty of losses to defensive fire. But the gunners were always "enthusiastic" in their claims.
