So, as yet, no wartime source for KG 76 actually having on strength, operating or losing an Me 262. All we have is what's recorded on the back of a photo that, unfortunately, does not show the unit code, only the "+DA" on the nosewheel door.

P.S. I do have some evidence of III./KG 76 using its Ar 234s for reconnaissance (as many Luftwaffe units would send a plane out e.g. to check weather conditions en route to a target).
