Re: Me410-carnage over Oder 1945

II./ZG 76 was renamed III./JG 54 in end February 1945 (on the 27th), the former III./JG 54 having become IV./JG 26 two days before.

As for a disastrous mission, it is fairly possible that only one pilot returned to the group's base, while the other landed on the first base they found. Histories of JG 26 and JG 4 are full of battles ending like that with only a small portion of AC returning to base, but most of the "missing" AC not being really lost.
