Hello Bill

IV./JG 3 lost three Bf 109 G-6 fighters that day and the attached Sturmstaffel 1 lost one Fw 190 A-8. The information is:

Fw 190 A-8 "White 8" (W.Nr. 170 091) flown by Uffz. Heinz Steffen of Sturmstaffel 1, wounded in aerial combat, crashed at Neuberg/Donau, baled out

I hope that this information from the IV./JG 3 volume by Prein helps you somewhat.

Horrido!
