Hi.

The loss list on the JG 300 site is not exhaustive! Please remember that the GenQu6Abt loss lists for 1944 are missing, an as the loss list shown on the JG 300 site seems to be built on WASt documents, aircraft losses were the personnel involved were not injured, went missing or killed will not appear.

The following losses NOT listed on the JG 300 site were sustained by this fighter unit on the mentioned dates:

24.03.1944:

I./J.G.300 1 aircraft category 4 (Destroyed by gunfire from enemy aircraft on operational flight, observed by enemy)


25.03.1944:

I./J.G.300 2 aircraft category 20 (Destroyed without enemy action on operational flight)

also on this date:
(II./J.G.300 1 aircraft category 4 (Destroyed by gunfire from enemy aircraft on operational flight, observed by enemy). This is probably the loss of the FW 190 from 5. Staffel listed on the J.G.300 page)

It is possible that the 24.03.1944 loss is the one you are looking for, but it is also possible that the incident were not recognized as enemy induced if it happened at night, and one of the cat 20 losses are the one you are looking for.

It should be possible to check the ORB for take-off and landing times so one can estimate if the loss occured before or after midnight, an important distinction in such cases.

Best regards,
Andreas B
