Hello Laurent,

Thanks for the data.

My interest are the activities of II./JG 3 that day. This unit suffered several losses due to "Bekämpfung anglo. amerik. Bomberverbände. Bei Luftkampf mit Mustangs ..."

Uffz Hans Egon Schunk (also stated as Schunck) of 8./JG 3 - at Glück (near Halban/Schlesien) - badly wounded - Me 109G-14, blaue 4 and w/nr 462962 - crash landing due to combats with Mustangs.

Uffz Johann Max Elwischger of 5./JG 3 - at Lauban near Görlitz - KIA - Me 109G-14, weisse 10, w/nr 762963 -

Fw Leonhard Josef Wenzel of 5./JG 3 - Lauban near Görlitz - KIA - Me 109G-14, weisse 3, w/nr 781126 -

Uffz Günter Dieter Lehnik of 7./JG 3 - Groß Walditz near Löwenberg/Schlesien - KIA - Me 109G-14, gelbe 11, w/nr 461421

Who can provide me with more details on these losses and/or USA input relating to these. Thanks
