Hello Larry,

on the other side the question is how many victories were not confirmed by the Luftwaffe OKL at the end. It seems they were much more than seven. I asked for the 10.(N)/JG 26 before some time and got no response.

According to Lagebericht West 119:
Kommodore J.G. 1 - 1 Abschuss
I./J.G. 77 (in fact I./ZG 76) - 15 Abschüsse
II./J.G. 77 - 13 Abschüsse
10./J.G. 26 - 5 Abschüsse
Marineflak - 1 Abschuss
40 sm ostw. Cromer (Norfolk) - 1 Abschuss
Zusammen: 36 Abschüsse

Not confirmed:
I./Z.G. 76 - 2
II./J.G. 77 - 5
10./JG 26 - ? 1 - 4 ?
Marineflak - 1 ?
And not mentioned in the Lagebericht JGr.101 - 1 ?

Maybe the OKL knew the figure of approaching "52" bombers was not correct. "Only" 24-25 confirmed victories sounds much better than 34, 36 or even 38...

Regards,
Marius
