Re: Dalight attack on Brest 24th July 1941: BC claims compared to Lufwaffe losses
Peter
This has been covered before I am sure. The units were Bf 109s of JG 2 and JG 53 and there were no other types involved. JG 2 lost 6 aircraft and 5 pilots killed, one wounded. Another was written off crash-landing and pilot injured, another 3 suffered varying degrees of damage. JG 53 suffered one ac written off after crash-landing. Causes are listed as Spitfires and enemy aircraft so cannot say for sure how many for certain were got by bombers apart from Lt Julius Meimberg of 3/JG 2 who got too close to his final victim
