Re: LW losses night 19/20th September 1944 - attack to Eindhoven?

Quoting the British translation of the Luftflotte 3 diary (TNA AIR 20/7704):
"78 aircraft of Fliegerkorps IX (no longer under Luftflotte 3 command) set out to make a concentrated attack on Eindhoven. A Do 217 crashed soon after take-off, the crew were killed. 75 aircraft carried out the attack, 1 aircraft attacked a secondary target, and another broke off."
The Do 217 was the only loss apart from a reconnaissance Me 410 (probably of 1.(F)/121).

The Ju 87s of NSGr. 2 were operating against the Maastricht area, as were III./KG 51's Fw 190s.
