Re: Luftwaffe Losses for the 5th August 1944 ?
Hello Laurent,
THANK YOU
At last.
This is what I have been given from "Day Fighters, In Defence of the Reich 1942-45" by D.Caldwell.
I.Jagdkorps put 6 Gruppen near the enemy by at no greater strength than the previous day: 130 single engined fighters (of which 89 made contact) & 8 Zerstorer were scrambled but were easily dispersed by the escorts losing 14KIA or MIA, 10WIA and 29 fighters. The Americans wrote-off 16 bombers and 9 fighters to all causes. The following is taken from the same publication:
Jagddivision 1- I./JG3 - 24 x Bf109G - 6 destroyed - 3 damaged - 5 KIA - 0 MIA - 1 WIA
- II./JG5 - 22 x Bf109G - 8 destroyed - 2 damaged - 4 KIA - 2 MIA - 2 WIA
- III./JG300 - 13 x xBf109G - 4 destroyed - 1 damaged - 1 KIA - 0 MIA - 4 WIA
- I./JG400 - 4 x Me163 - 0 destroyed - 0 damaged - 0 KIA - 0 MIA - 0 WIA
- L.Beeb.St1 - 4 x Me410 - 0 destroyed - 0 damaged - 0 KIA - 0 MIA - 0 WIA
Jagddivision 2- JGr10 - 3 x Ju88 - 0 destroyed - 0 damaged - 0 KIA - 0 MIA - 0 WIA
- III./JG53 - 34 x Bf109G - 3 destroyed - 2 damaged - 0 KIA - 0 MIA - 1 WIA
- 7./JG53 - 6 x Bf109G - 0 destroyed - 0 damaged - 0 KIA - 0 MIA - 0 WIA
Jagddivision 7- IV.(Sturm)/JG3 - ? x Fw190 - 1 destroyed - 0 damaged - 1 KIA - 0 MIA - 0 WIA
Jagddivision 8- II./JG27 - 24 x Bf109G - 4 destroyed - 3 damaged - 1 KIA - 0 MIA - 2 WIA
- I./JG302 - 13 x Bf109G - 0 destroyed - 0 damaged - 0 KIA - 0 MIA - 0 WIA
There seems to be extra ones you have given for JG1 and JG2 ?? Am I correct in thinking this ??
Thank you once again for your reply.
