Re: Biggest Air Battle over Germany? JG 300 and JG 301 "Wilde Sau" November 27th, 1944

there were no Viermots claimed only US fighter escorts.....

The losses I mentioned in men and material was for the total of the day by all Luftwaffe gruppen. JG 301 lost 14 Fw 190A-9's with a claim of 1 ? P-51.

Stab./JG 301, I. and II. gruppe flew with JG 300 which was the I.-IV.th Gruppes. JG 300 only claimed 4 P-51 for a loss of 39 aircraft. Hopefully volume 2 of Lorant/Goyat JG 300 book will enlighten us further on the trueness of the losses and claims.

I./JG 1
II./JG 1
I./JG 3
III./JG 3
I./JG 26
III./JG 27
IV./JG 27
IV./JG 54 with Fw 190A-8's
I./JG 300
II.Sturm/JG 300
III./JG 300
IV./JG 300
Stab./JG 301
I./JG 301 with Fw 190A-9's
II./JG 301 with Fw 190A-9's

by the way this was JG 301's 3rd operative mission with the Fw 190A. Will have to dig back into my base to see the firm losses of this unit: 7 KIA and 4 wounded ?
