Re: .50 calibre rounds
Wasn't being critical. However, there were many attacks on Me 262s on or parked in trees near the autobahn, particularly in March/April 1945
It is more likely IMO that ground fire was the source but impossible to rule out strafing. The other thing to consider for ground fire is that the actual projectiles should be far from the fired casing whereas a strafing run places bullets in a running pattern and closes with the aircraft possibly still ejecting casings as it continues to shoot
