Barham Claims

Can anyone match up the following claims of RAF Ace J.R.D. Braham with a German loss? I have got all the rest from this site and other sources.
12.9.41 He111
19.10.41 Do17
9.8.42 Do217
14.6.43 Bf110
4.4.44 Bu131
13.4.44 He111
29.4.44 Fw190
7.5.44 Ju88
12.5.44 Fw190
Any help would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Re: Barham Claims

James, you shall at least also included the hour and the place Barham made his claims in your request, otherwise it would be difficult to confirm his claims

Re: Barham Claims

The Ju 88 of 7 May 1944 is described here: http://www.flensted.eu.com/g1944061.shtml

The He 111 of 13 April 1944 was a FW 58: http://www.flensted.eu.com/g1944051.shtml

A possibility for the Do 217 of 9-10 August 1942:
http://www.flensted.eu.com/g1942072.shtml

The only loss of Bf 110 lost on 14 Jun 43 (or in both nights before and after) according to the losses books by Mr Balss was the Bf 110 G-4 WNr 5450 G9+FN of 5./NJG 1 that was shot down on the night of 14th-15th by an enemy aircraft at Waldfeucht, 7 km W Heimsberg. Both crew bailed out of the burning aircraft and survived with wounds: Ofw Fritz Schellwat (pilot) and Ofw Rudolf Lüdeke. Schellwat claimed his 11th victory at 1h32 on the 15th so was shot down after midnight.
