I mean, I can not remember, Balss first volume contains any nformation from NJG100/200. From the second volume I have in my records only:


25.9.1943 2./NJG 100 Feindflug Ju 88C-6 v v v Ursache unbekannt, 100 %

23.10.1943 3./NJG 100 H Do 217J verw-verw-+-++(2 gefallen) Motorstörung, 80 %, Toltoschin

Dear Stig,

These data brut from QM returns, first you collect then you correct or complete if needed, seems I just made half of the work..., to give you an hint of how big is the work, the total losses for the Lwf 1939-1945 amount to a bit less than 140.000 pcs ...

WNr 360209 three times. First on 26.8.43 with 30% damage (which I can buy). Secondly on 10.10.43 with 60% damage and finally on 11.10.43 with 45% damage. The two latter one's sounds not very reasonable, one yes but not both...
30 % is correct 60+45 % same event reported twice
WNr 880740 (aka 740) twice. First on 11.9.43 with 85% damage and then on 12.9.43 also with 85% damage. Same unit and same place...
Same event night of 12/13 sept. reported twice

Night fighter units operating mainly in the East may not have suffered so many losses from enemy action. The USSR did not have a big force of Mosquitoes and Beaufighters to hunt them like the RAF did in the West. But even so you would expect regular losses to accidental causes in any flying unit.

In the East Bf110 night fighters were often used on daylight as close support a/c or even as day fighters. With daylight-level losses, I think.
