Biggest Air Battle over Germany? JG 300 and JG 301 "Wilde Sau" November 27th, 1944

[Erich]

Boandlgramer remember that Tony's is just a claims listing...........


for 26 November 44 JG 301 alone claimed over 50 US a/c and in reality were given 21 B-24's and 1 P-51. Truth is that they clobbered the 491st bg with a loss of 16 according to the bomb group historian/vets and also another 5 B-24's from the 445th bg. I cannot account for which US escort unit lost the P-51.
Truly this is just one incident and if we wish to take the listings of kills as fact then the US 8th AF bomber groups on the 27th of November 44 are in total denial. The US escorts had the jump on JG's 300 and 301 we know this for fact. As to the others that Klaus and I listed I can only presume similiar instances occurred.
Ideally it might be wise to observe the kills "claimed" by each Geschwader-gruppe history by forum member/authors such as Prien and Caldwell, Mombeek.
