Re: Nijmegen Bridge Attack
what I have bits and pieces intersted in I.JG 76:
Then weather improved and flying was again possible. On September 24, 1944 twenty-six Bf 109s of I./JG 76 took off as a part of Gefechtsverband Späthe (composed of III./JG 11 and IV./JG 54) and flew to fight enemy fighters in the area of Nijmegen. Action ended without any success, however one plane was damaged. Two more losses were recorded on September 26, 1944 when 23 Bf 109s took off at 13:07 hours for Jabo attack to the Driel area. Few hours later another Jabo attack was ordered at 17:30 hours to the area of new landing position of paratroopers south of Driel. Nineteen Messerschmitts took off for this mission, which ended with no losses and no claims. Result of the attack on the ground is not known. John M. is possibly source of this info...If I am correct
