If you want the proof, you need to go to Berlin aviation museum, it is standing there. A Me 110 of the museum was deliberately claimed as a technical loss, although downed by AA fire. A Me 109 recovered in Poland had clear traces of inflight fire, but was declared as a loss due to pilot's error.
In regard of GQ6 losses, I would say that they are simply incomplete. Nobody would ask RLM for replacements, it is the duty of local service unit.
