I suggest you get hold of Chorley's Bomber Command Losses Vol 1 and I know that there is additional information in Graham Warner's book on the Bristol Blenheim

On the 13th August 1940 Robert Menge of 5./JG 77 shot down 4 Blenheim’s in the Aalborg area.
Entries 14, 15, 16, 17 on the following website gives details
www.luftwaffe.cz/menge.html

This website http://lostbombers.co.uk/ lists 11 Blenheim’s from 82 Squadron in the Aalborg area shot down on that day.

Menge is the only one I can find from 5./JG 77 with actual claims

Kind regards

there was a whole article about the Aalborg attack in "After the Battle" magazine a few years ago (Issue No. 72):
