Re: LW losses over Nurenberg on 16 April 1945
I looked in Michael Balss' book Luft losses and claims for 1st April-9th May 1945 but could not link to the locations given through Google Earth :-
6/JG 53 lost a 109 K4 t/o Risstissen crashed Schorndorf
Elements of EJG 1 operated from Gorlitz well to the north lost 6 109 various models
II/JG 77 up frm Eckersdorf lost 3 109 K4s in aerial combat with 2 in the Troppau area
The airfield at Raffelding Ausrtia lost 4 109 G10s of Ung.St./101 crashing around the airfield in combat with P-51s . There is a Heuberg in Austria 130kms to the S/W by Salzberg
On a site there are some combat reports from P-51 units which includes Capt Bankey for the 27th Dec. 1944 but not for the 16th April I was hoping there would be one to confirm the airfield where his combats took place . Could find any losses for JG 300 from Balss or other sources and none from JG 104 .
