Schnellkampfgeschwader 10, 8 March 1943

According to some accounts this unit unsuccessfully engaged B-17s that had raided Rennes, losing two aircraft (USAAF gunners claim 14 kills against LW units, RCAF Spitfires add another two). Were SKG10 still flying from Caen Carpiquet? A fighter bomber unit diverted from it's purpose to engage bombers returning from a raid seems unusual. Perhaps they were the nearest LW unit?
