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

I am trying to piece together facts about this massive dogfight over Germany. On this day USAAF fighters engaged Luftwaffe fighters from JG 300, JG 301 and possibly other units. The Germans were concentrated in two large groups or 'gaggles' as they were sometimes called. Several American fighter pilots said that it was the largest formation of enemy planes they had ever seen.

I was wondering if there is a record that tells us how many German fighters were sent aloft that day, their losses, and at what times they took off from their bases.

I just received a copy of Jagdgeschwader 301/302 "Wilde Sau" by Willi Reschke but unfortunately the narrative does not contain as much information as I had anticipated.
