III./EJG 2 vs. P-47s
On 27th March 1945 three Me 262s of III./EJG 2 bounced a gaggle of Thunderbolts and knocked down six of them against no loss of their own. Three of these victories are credited to Obst. Baer, two more to Obst. Dahl.
However, as I checked MACR records, I was surprised to see that only one P-47 was lost (of 367th FG) on that day in ETO. Or am I missing something? Are these six kills positively verified in USAAF records? And if so, which P-47 outfit got such a beating? Thanks in advance. |

Are you sure of the date? Messerschmitt Combat Diary Me 262 also notes the losses but says that they may have occured on the 25th vice the 27th. HTH,

No, I'm not sure of the date either. It's just a loose piece of info I'm trying to verify. Thank you for your reply, much obliged.
