Four Bomber Command losses to Flak 11-12 August 1942 Mainz raid

Dear all,

I've identified four Bomber Command losses during the 11-12 August 1942 Mainz raid which were due to Flak. Regrettably, so far I have not found any German Flak claims details (such as Flak units/Flak battteries involved) or times of the crashes of these aircraft, any info on this would be much appreciated (I have all the other basic details on these losses, including crew details):

-57 Sqn Wellington BJ830: hit by unidentified Flak and crashed at Hagen, Philipshöhe ca. 03.30 hrs.
-405 Sqn Halifax W7748: hit by unidentified Flak and crashed at Duisburg-Neuenkamp, time unknown.
-75 Sqn Wellington BJ625: hit by unidentified Flak and crashed into a hill side at Hagen, time unknown.
-106 Sqn Lancaster W4109: hit by unidentified Flak and crashed in the Koblenzer Strasse at Waldesch-Oberlahnstein, time unknown.


Cheers and thanks, Theo
