Re: LW losses 18 June 1944 Montpellier-Nimes

http://www.ghostbombers.com/JG200/june_1.html

Other He 111s lost in Southern France that summer were transport/liaison machines retained by KG 26 but I don't know about this particular one. II./KG 26 did report a single aircraft missing in action and III./KG 26 was missing two that day but these were probably Ju 88s taking part in the torpedo attack off Normandy

I didn't find any evidence of a Bf 109 being claimed (and regrettably the material losses file covering JGr. 200 has not yet been digitised by the bundesarchiv). From UK National Archives AIR 23/6510
Int/Opsum No. 434

1900 hrs 17 – 1900 hrs 18 June 1944
Fighter Bombers … 20 P-47s 4 French Group destroyed 3 locos, damaged 3 locos in the Narbonne area and encountered and destroyed 1 He 111 10 miles West of Nīmes.
Claims:. Aircraft – 87th Fighter Wing – 1 He 111 destroyed.
Enemy Activity, Air: 1 He 111 shot down by p-47s of 4th French Group – 10 miles W. Nīmes.
