Losses of II./JG 11 on 15 March 1944

[Laurent Rizzotti]

Hello,

According to the book "Day Fighters in Defence of the Reich: A War Diary, 1942-45" by Don Caldwell, on 15 March 1944 "II./JG 11, one of the best units in the RLV, was treated the worst, losing 7 killed, 2 wounded and 8 Bf 109s, and was taken off operations that evening for 6 weeks of rebuilding."

Can someone provide me the details of these losses ? Thanks in advance.

Laurent
