JG 53, BoB 5th Oct 1940 victories

I am looking for information concerning last fight of F/O W. Januszewicz from 303 (Polish) Squadron who was shot down 5th October 1940 during Batttle of Britain. Very little is known about his last fight. F/O Januszewicz probably fought with Me 109s from JG53 and his aircraft crashed in flames at Stowting, near Lyminge. He probably flown Hurricane P3892.
Who might be Januszewicz’s victor?
Are there any relations/reports avaialable from the Luftwaffe side?
Any help appreciated.
Best regards,
Marek

Re: JG 53, BoB 5th Oct 1940 victories

thenelm my best thanks for your swift reply.
However after more digging in the docs I have realised that it does not solve my problem.
I assumed that Januszewicz was shot down by JG 53 as they provided cover to Bf 110's which were attacked by 303 Squadron. But it seems that Januszewicz was shot down between 11.20-12.00. So it seems that it was not JG 53 pilot who shot him down.
I realised that JG 3 intervened in beginning of this battle....
Any hints on JG 3?
Anyway thenelm thanks again!
Marek
