I do have losses for October 2, 1944, but this is only for a Do 24 lost in the Med.

Thanks. I also have the Do 24 loss in Egean (WNr 2112). According to my files it was shot down by a Beaufighter flown by the crew Bays-Battiste of 46 Sqn. I have the crew list (3 dead, 3 survivors) but no details about passengers, except that they were 22 and there was only 1 survivor.
As for the Jasmunder Bay strafing, I was hoping you had something in an unit war diary, or pilot diary. If such losses were indeed inflicted, a Do 24 unit was probably wiped out (at least for aircraft) for some time, and this may appear in some documents. So I was hoping a specialist like you may have something about it.
Thanks anyway
