Are you sure about the date? Records indicate that no Bf 110s were lost on the 16th. But, 8 were lost on the 17th. What date is the 0100 you list?

Four were 100% either WIA or KIA, which might fit the description, but none of the locations mentions Mannheim. However, Germans records are usually more specific as to near by small villages as opposed to "15 miles west of Mannheim".
