Re: 7 crashed Me-109 on 19th March 1944 near Esztergom
Miklos, from Dr. Priens history of III and IV/JG27 - Oblt. Erich Bindert of StabIII/JG27 baled out lightly wounded, Uffz August Schaff and Uffz Heinrich Pothmann of 8/JG27 killed all south of Marburg. 10/JG27 lost Oblt Gunther Potrafke, Ltn Hans Flor, Uffz Werner Dittmann, Uffz Wilhelm Brose all killed in area of Budapest plus another aircraft lost with pilot safe. All aircraft were Bf109G6's no other aircraft details. The mission was to oppose a raid by 310 bombers of the USAAF 15th Air Force. The book also says the loss off Potrafka, Dittmann and Brose was ohne Feindeinwirkung which I believe means not due to enemy action,
