Re: D-Day JG 2 and NAGr 13 losses
kaki3152,
All five 9th USAAF missing P-47s were from Groups attributed to fighter-bomber missions over areas of three (western) US beaches. Luftwaffe pilots claimed theirs victories east of Caen, no way that they shot down any 9th USAAF P-47.
Some of four P-47s claimed by 8th USAAF as shot down by Flak are more likely candidates for victims of JG 2 fighters.
Edit:
After some time for playing with googlemaps, I found that all crashsites of 8th USAAF P-47s are situated at least around 100 kilometers far away from Caen, and for now I can tell that Buhligen probably did not shot down P-47. So Typhoon is my type.
