The following sites are Luftwaffe claims for 28.5.1944 Not sure if areas are right
http://www.luftwaffe.cz/augenstein.html (3 X Halifax)
http://www.luftwaffe.cz/rokker.html (1 X Halifax)
http://www.luftwaffe.cz/greiner.html (1 X Halifax)

Can only find one listing for a Luftwaffe shotdown on that date. Again I’m not sure if area is right
http://www.luftwaffe.cz/bock.html
Bock was shot down and killed on 28 May 1944, in aerial combat with USAAF P-51 fighters near Helmstedt. He baled out of his BF 109 G-6 (W.Nr. 441 324) “Black 6” but struck the tailplane of his aircraft.

Hope this may be of help/interest

Kind regards
