Re: Jagdgruppe Ost + Jagdgruppe West - 31 Dec 43
Hi, Don.
Jagdgruppe Ost must have been more or less completely annihilated on this date, bombs damaged 21 aircraft below 50% and 17 aircraft were listed as damaged more then 50%.
In addition they had one aircraft listed as missing in combat, five as damaged more than 50% due to aerial combat, one damaged below 50% in aerial combat.
Thus the unit sustained damage to no less than 45 aircraft on this date.
Jagdgruppe West had one aircraft damaged below 50% in aerial combat, while three aircraft were damaged more than 50% without enemy interaction (probably landing or take-off accidents) and one aircraft damaged below 50% in the same circumstances.
No details as of yet, but there should be a few Namentliche Verlustmeldungen I would assume.
Regards,
Andreas B
