B-17 losses on 16-Apr-45

On this day, 6 flying Fortress have been destroyed during a raid on Dresden by Me 262 from Jg 7
Fred, what is the source of this information? According to Manfred Booehme's JG 7 history, most of the unit was transfering to bases in Czechosolakia and some sections were grounded due to bad weather. His tabular list of missions for that day lists only 1 B-17 lost and it is not clear whether the single claim by an Me-262 for that day is this B-17 or one of many USAAF fighters lost that day.
