Operation Bodenplatte
Hi Blackeagle
The opponent of the 352nd FG and the 366th FG was JG 11 which by Prein's list lost 27 fighters in aerial combat. Notable losses included the Geschwaderkommodore, Major Günther Sprecht (34 victories, RK), Leutnant Alwin Doppler, Staffelführer of 2./JG 11 and Hauptmann Horst-Günther von Fassong (75 victories, RK), Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG 11. Please remember that JG 11 was initially bounced by the eight P-47 fighters of the 390th FS creating a great deal of confusion which along with the dismal quality of the Nachwuchs explains the one sided results. Interestingly, both Sprecht and von Fassong were downed by the 390th FS. I hope this helps out somewhat.
Horrido!
