Need Photos for Book on Berlin March 6, 1944

Mark Copeland, 8th AFHS Historian said to come to this site since YOU are the experts here and could help me. I am doing a book on the 100th BG's missions to Berlin on March 3, 4, 6, 8, 1944 with the bulk of the information focusing on March 6, 1944. What I am really lacking is Luftwaffe photos I can use in the book that show the following units

Stab and I/JG 11 led by Hauptmann. Hermichen – 4 Me 109s and 13 FW 190s
III/JG 11 led by Hauptmann. Anton Hackl – 18 FW 190s
II/JG 11 led by Maj. Guenther Specht – 15 Me 109s
III/JG 54 led by Hauptmann. Rudolf Sinner – 20 Me 109s
I/JG 1 led by Major Karl Schnoor – 16 FW 190s
II/JG 1 led by Major Heinz Bar – 21 FW 190s

I need photos either the pilots with their aircraft or the aircraft themselves. I will need permission to use them from the owner of the photos and will give credit in the book. The book is being published by Schiffer Publishing and need to be scanned at 600 dpi for best reproduction. Your help and thanks is greatly apprecicate gentlemen.
Please email me at MPFaley@aol.com Also, if you have any conclusive information on actual 100th BG aircraft being shot down that day and the pilot who did it, would love that information. We lost 15 aircraft on March 6, 1944 to the units listed above.
