LW (JG3?) losses 28 July 1944 and 2 march 1945

Several questions actually.

Remi was kind enough to send a spreadsheet with LW losses for 28 July - in the spreadsheet were three losses for 109's from JG3 but no location or time (or pilots) - does anyone know more?

Roscoe Allen claimed 5 destroyed and two probable Me 109s on 2 March 1945 which were disallowed because the film was faulty and no witness. The encounter was described a bounce between 1020 and 1030 between Dummer Lake and Koblenz on 109's carrying a small bomb. Insignia for several described as 'snake' on lh side - which I presume would be the JG3 dragon... plus blue wingtips and top of fin to 'presumably make the 109 look more like a 51'..

any details which might corroborate this encounter?

On 7 April a 355th pilot Mills was KIA and buried at Verrigsen way south of Hildesheim. He was possibly KIA due to MAC but could have been shot down. Any Luftwaffe claims between 1215 and 1300 in this area?

Last - what are the time standards for Tony Woods database of LW claims and losses? Zulu, British Standard or German - (+1hr over Zulu/Brit Std?)

Thanks in advance

Bill
