Re: Me 109 loss on June 21 1944 near Brunswick and Bernoske
As for the strafing on the 24th, I dropped an eye yesterday evening on Frappe's book about Luftwaffe in Normandy (in French). I/27 and IV/27 were based around Angers but don't report such ground disasters. On the other hand, III/27 lost 12 Me109 during strafing by American fighters (probably total losses, text is unclear if this was the number of planes destroyed or hit, they are just reported as losses) but at Connantre, E of Paris and rather away (250-300 km) from Angers.
I had not enough time to check all units, that is just for the JG 27 groups as I remembered part of them were based near Angers.
Will check the other units when I have time one of these evenings.
