VIII fliegerkorps on 4 july 1943

[Michael]

According to my sources VIII fliegerkorps lost two Ju 88 and one Bf 109 on 4 july 1943:

Ju 88A-4 W.Nr.1196 “5K+FM” of 4./KG 3
Ju 88A-4 W.Nr.6718 of 6./KG 3
Bf 109G-4 W.Nr.14940 “yellow 6” of 6./JG 3

I have two questions about this:
1. Is this loss list correct?
2. Does anybody know more info?

P.S. Sorry for my bad english

Thanks Andy!

I've visited this link and founded that on 4 july KG 27 had one He 111 damaged and SchG 1 three FW 190's damaged:

- He111H-16 W.Nr.162832, 14.(Eis)/KG 27
Kursk-Woronesh 40% F
- Fw 190A-5 W.Nr. 1130 1./Sch.G. 1
Tire damage while landing. Fl.Pl. Barwenkowo 50% F
- Fw 190A-5 W.Nr. 5958 6./Sch.G. 1
Pilot error. Pl.Qu. 615 15% H
- Fw 190A-5 W.Nr. 5932 6./Sch.G. 1
Undercarriage damage while landing. Anapa 40% H

KG 27 and SchG 1 participated in operation Citadelle under VIII Fliegerkorps's HQ. II./SchG 1 was on the move from Anapa to Kursk area on 2-4 july 1943. It seems to me that last two Fw 190A-5's of II./SchG 1 were damaged during this move.
Who can confirm my suppositions about it?
