On the last days of the war a large gaggle of Ju188s met a swarm of Mosquitos over the North Sea. Any details of this engagement?

I guess you are talking about the fight between Mosquitoes of Coastal Command and KG 26 over North Sea on 21 April 1945. KG 26 lost 6 Ju88 and a Ju 188.

I am sure I have seen more on the internet about this fight but I don't remember where.

With their rear-firing 20 and 13mm turrets, were the Jus able to bring any Mosquitoes down?
