3./KG 6 - late July 1944

Hello all,
Is it possible to find out if 3./KG 6 lost any aircraft on the nights of 25/26 & 26/27 July 1944 while conducting night bombing/mining operations against the Allied invasion forces?
In Doug & Larry's Bombers Of The Luftwaffe vol 1 it mentions that the records are incomplete for that period of operations, and when covering the Steinbock Raids the book The Blitz Then & Now vol 3 mentions that most if not all of the Luftwaffe's loss reports for the year of 1944 are missing so any information supplied is much appreciated.
I ask because I have a wehrpass to an observer (Uffz Gustav Dargatz) in 3./KG 6 who was killed on 27th July 1944 with Volksbund listing his place of death as being near Villaroche.
As an aside, can anyone also supply me with the name of the Staffelkapitan of 3./KG 6 for late July 1944.
Thank you in advance.
