On May 20, 1944 during the famous battle of Targul Frumos
various assets of Tolbukin's 3rd Ukrainian Front were retreating back
towards East of Dubosari pressured by German armours ,
Panzer Grenadier Div.Grossdeutschland and 3rd SS Totenkopf
Division along with ground troops.

Covering the German offensive involved assets of JG52, II,/SG2
III./SG2 . Covering the Soviet retreat involved assets from 267 IAP
178 GvIAP, 113 GvIAP, 117 GvIAP 5 GvIAP, 438 GvIAP, 897 GvIAP
866 GvIAP and 153 GvIAP acting at various times during the day.

During the air clashes between the Soviets and Luftwaffe , the
JG52 claimed 16 Soviet fighters and 2 Boston bombers, the Soviets
claimed 3 ME-109 , 5 FW-190 and 3 JU-87.

According JG52 documents not even one fighter was lost
and according SG 2 only 1 JU-87 but due AA activity .

The Soviets reported the loss of 9 fighters only and no Boston
bombers at all .

Questions : Was there too a Romanian air asset
involved and if yes what losses they published ,were there
other Luftwaffe losses elsewhere published which I may not
be aware of ?
