Hello Steve,

On October 12 1944, JG26 pilots face some Fighter Groups of the 8th Air Force.
The I/JG26 was attached from above over Hannover and lost 3 FW-190 A8 (3 KIA), no claims.
The II/JG26 was attached by P51 near Hannover and lost 5 FW-190 A8 (3 KIA, 1 WIA), no claims.
The III/JG26 was attached by P51 near Bremervorde and lost 5 Me-109 G14 (2 KIA, 1 WIA), no claims.

The only victory (P-51) was claimed by Ge CO Obstlt. Priller.

On April 6th 1945, the IV/JG26 lost 2 FW-190 D9 (2 POW) in combat west of Stolzenau, probably shot down by Tempest fighters of the 56th Squadron, which claimed 3 FW-190 for no losses.
