Malacky airdrome

HI all,
This is my first message in 2006 so HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
On September 20, 1944 there was American air raid against Malacky - Novy Dvor airdrome, Luftwaffe base that was used as shooting range, and training area. It was located in Western Slovakia som 30 KM NW from Bratislava. Luftwaffe used this base to operate against Slovak national uprising.
I am currious, if any of the luftwaffe loss experts may have a look in their databases and possibly pick for me losses related to this base and dated on September 20, 1944. Also I am interested which units were located there at that time.
Can ANYONE help with ANY info? Some nt official and not confirmed sources mention destruction and damage to He 111, Ju-87s, Ju 88s, Bf 110s, Do17s Ju 52s etc...
THANKS
Peter

anyone else can add something more? or was more a/c only damaged and not destroyed, and possibly did not get into Luftwaffe materials?

The raid arrived at the worst moment, the archives known stop at end of september 44, so time to give notice nd very few are listed
Malacky was often used as transit for pilots tranfering machines from factories to front-units
