Re: "Bud" Anderson's 7th kill
IIRC, Luftwaffe ME109 gruppen engaged were II/JG27, II/JG53, III/JG3 and I/JG5. From an earlier post on this subject...
"II/JG53 lost 4 ME109s. II/JG27 lost 6. They intercepted a box of B17s and their P51 escort "southeast of Nancy".
I/JG5 reported it lost 7 pilots (not clear if KIA or WIA nor how many a/c).
III/JG3 lost 7 a/c and 3 pilots KIA. One of the KIA pilots had recorded 13 victories (Obfhr Robert Meyer-Arend). He crashed near Gerardmer. Prien's unit history described the action as occuring around Colmar-Gerardmer area."
