Mission March 15th/16th 44, caims and losses RAF

[Rolfeb]

Hi All,
In the night mentioned above the RAF flew a mission against Stuttgart. Based on the "The Bomber Command War Diaries" 27 Lancaster and 10 Halifaxes were lost.
I'm looking for RAF claims against German night fighters in particular in Southwest Gernany during that night. Is that claim list available?
Thanks in advance
Rolf

Rolf,
The Night Raid Report for this operation lists six claims against German fighters,3 Ju.88s by Lancasters of 5 Group,a Ju.88,an Me.109 and a FW.190 by Halifaxes of 4 Group and another FW.190 in a collision with a Lancaster,(no Group given).No details on the Squadrons claiming or the locations.
Hope this helps,
Regards,Mark.

Guys,

I am confused here. The question was RAF claims that night. The list contains details of Luft. losses not available to the RAF at the time.

Is the response(s) about Luft. losses or RAF losses?

I ask because I may move this thread.
