Re: Straffing on Fliegerhorst Agram and Pleso on 11. October 1944.

The Luftwaffe losses summaries database cover two of these, N.S.Gr.7 and Nahaufkl.St. Kroatien. According to the base both had losses on the 10th (1 aircraft shot down by enemy aircraft for Nahaufkl.St. Kroatien, 1 shot down by AA fire, and 3 damaged (by enemy aircraft, by infantry fire and without enemy action) for N.S.Gr.7) but none on the 11th.

This base is in 1944 one of the two main sources for Luftwaffe base with the NVM (that cover only case with personnel losses), but still you can see in this example that it is not complete: Matti had in the NVMs two aircraft destroyed for 2./NSGr. 7 on 10 October, while the base had only one.

Still the base will usually list ground losses too, listing some for Nahaufkl.St. Kroatien on 12 Nov 1943, 6 Apr 1944, 23 Apr 1944, 25 May 1944, 26 May 1944, 28 May 1944, 1 June 1944 and 19 January 1945. None at all are listed for N.S.Gr.7. Maybe the data is incomplete here too.
