You're right, I forgot those (while I have the first at home) but I was only sinking of SG/SKG units, not Bf 110 ones.

I will also second Daniel's comment above. While this thread started on the issue to link claims with victories, another issue is that claims may have been validated by the corresponding authority or not. For example, from memory the last Luftwaffe claim validated are from September 1944 and any claim after that is just a pilot's claim that could have been rejected by the process, so it is probable that accuracy of the claim (compared to real enemy losses) will be lower than in previous periods.
