Hello

Can anyone provide loss details (16 Bf.110/Me.410 were claimed by US Fighters)

Thanks
Michel

Peter Kassak knows for sure

A dozen Me 410s from I. and II./ZG 76 and 4 Bf 110s from 6./ZG 1. The majority of the losses appear to be to the east of Wien/Vienna, over Hungary and Slovakia.

Super!
Thank you very much

For context, I have a Flugbuch from 6./ZG 1 covering this date. My man records flying out of Wels for ‘Frontal attack on bombers at Pressburg’’, which I believe is now Bratislava, Slovakia. Flight time 09:05-12:10.

[AndyMa]

I'm not familiar with the coding system used by ZG76.
There seem to have been 2 x weiße 3, M8 + 3 lost on this day, one from 4./ZG76 (420678) and one from 1./ZG76 (420680)

Can anyone explain the system please?
