All victories claimed against P-51 of 8th Air Force this day (from Tony Wood's lists) (modified to have the full name, the score (or minimum score) and claims of ace or future aces in blue):
29.05.44 Fhj.Fw. Wilhelm Schorr: 13 ► 6./JG 11 P-51 £ CF-CG-DF: 7.000 m. [Neustrelitz area] 11.58 Film C. 2027/II Anerk: Nr.22
29.05.44 Uffz. Herbert Drühe: 5 ► 5./JG 11 P-51 £ AF-BF: 7.500 m. [Neukalen-Malchin] 12.05-15 Film C. 2027/II Anerk: Nr.333
29.05.44 Ofw. Wick: 1 5./JG 11 P-51 £ AE-BE-BF: 7.900 m. [Teterow-Malchin] 12.05-10 Film C. 2027/II Anerk: Nr.32
29.05.44 Uffz. Horst Gabel: 3 3./JG 1 P-51 £ JB-JC-KB-KC: 3.000 m. [Quedlingburg] 12.25-30 Film C. 2027/II Anerk: ASM
29.05.44 Uffz. Paul Berndt: 5 ► 6./JG 11 P-51 £ BF, Waren area, 7.900 m. 12.34 Reference: JG 11 List f. 1210
29.05.44 Ltn. Norbert Hannig (17?) ► 1./JGr. Ost P-51 £ Merseburg: 20 m. 13.10 Film C. 2027/II Anerk: Nr.2
29.05.44 Fw. Nett (1?) 2./ZG 26 P-51 £ DN: 5.500 m. [Sneidermühle] 13.35-50 Film C. 2027/II Anerk: Nr.22
29.05.44 Ofw. Pingel (1?) 2./ZG 26 P-51 £ AK at 800 m. [Wollin] 14.00-15 Film C. 2027/II Anerk: Nr.

So 8 P-51 claims against 8 P-51 on the US side (6 by 8th Air Force groups and two for 9th Air Force groups escorting it). But all these American losses should be checked to see the loss reason, that may be engine failure, AA fire, collision, etc... rather than German fighters.

ThankYou!!!!
