Re: 1945: Ma Deuces down 83 German planes?

According to translated Luftwaffenkdo. West sitreps in the National Archives, Fl. Div. 15 flew 104 f 109 and Fw 190 sorties to Oppenheim on 23 March with 11 aircraft lost and 13 missing. That night NSG 1 and NSG 2 each had a Ju 87 damaged. Fighter units involved were I., II. and III./JG 2 plus II., III. and IV./JG 53.

On the 24th, out of 62 fighters (same units), one was lost and four were missing; a Ju 87 was damaged that night. Also overnight, NJG 4 sent 9 Ju 88s there, one being lost.

25 March: 26 Bf 109 and 15 Fw 190 (3 lost, 7 missing, 1 damaged). II./KG 200 employed 4 Mistel that night, losing an Fw 190 and a Ju 88 flare dropper. NAG 13 may also have lost a reconnaissance machine (http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=38043)

26th: Two Ju 87 were lost in the bridgehead area that night.
