Luftwaffe vs. Operation Outward - any encounter?
From March 1942 to September 1944 the British sent up almost 100.000 (or 100,000 if you like) balloons towards hopefully Germany to disrupt power lines and/or start fires, depending on the type of balloon. Code name was Operation Outward, of which more info on the web.
Notwithstanding the relative small size of the balloons used, did a Luftwaffe fighter ever shoot down such a balloon? Engagements by fighters known?
Any leads welcome.

Leendert
