Me 262 losses of KG 51 on 19 March 1945?

In another thread, Nick Beale was so kind as to post the following ULTRA message:

CX/MSS/498/52 BT 8237

((2)) To KABUS (( (Roman) I/KG)) 51, Hopsten from Obpfr. Plattner, stamped 2345/19/3:
...
GK, 110620, OL and 11199(smudge) shot up by a/c armament, 110605 with oblique armament shot up by a/c armament on 19/3 and completely destroyed...


Information from Jan Horn's Das Flurschaden Geschwader, (2010):

1. 110620 was 9K+GK! (pp. 222, 223, 253, 266, 271)

2. 110620 9K+GK was shot down by enemy fighter on 17 March. (p. 271)

3. Giebelstadt was strafed by eight P-51s between 07.57 and 08:02 hours on 19 March losing two Me 262 100% and one Me 262 10%. (p. 272)

4. The two Me 262s lost to air armament were 110605 and 11199?. (p.273)

5. 9K+OL was 111634. (pp. 243, 245)


My questions:

1. Was 110620 9K+GK shot down on 17 March or strafed on 19 March?

2. Was the strafing incident on the 19th at Giebelstadt of Hopsten?

3. If 111634 9K+OL was the third aircraft 10% damaged in the strafing, what was its final fate. Horn makes no mention.

best regards

Jim
