Re: Airfield Strafing Victims
Giebelstadt:

13 Jan 45: low-level attack by VIII Fighter Command P-51s – claimed 1 x Me 262, 1 x Ju 88 and 1 x Do 217 destroyed, plus 1 x Ju 88 damaged.
Above are Allied CLAIMS. Actual Luftwaffe figures are far and few between. What exist are in the BNA/PRO HW collections. Here's an example of a German one:
Steinamanger (Szombathely):
21 Oct 44: bombed and strafed by 15th AAF B-24s, P-38s and P-51s – 1 x Fw 190 destroyed, 3 x He 111 Bs, 2 x Bf 109s, 2 x Ju 88s and 1 x Hs 129 damaged, telephone lines and electric cables destroyed, buildings damaged, landing area cratered and airfield unserviceable, 4 KIA. (German sources)
