Thanks Gents,
I appreciate your help.

It looks like that I can (and will) make a complete chapter on mining the Danube by plane.

The German counter-measures were 3 things:
Forming a huge flottillia of mine-sweeping boats by the German navy and other Axis navies
Forming a squadron of mine-sweeping Ju 52/MS responsible for the Danube by the German Airforce.
Errecting of two Entmagnetisierungsschleifen (~ demagnetization slopes).
All in all these German counter-measures couldn't prevent the decline of the cargo transport on the Danube down to a third. (at least partly)
Sometimes even the complete route on the Danube had to be closed for days after aerial mining missions.
