KG 26 losses, night of 5/6 August 1944

[Nick Beale]

Since I missed out on the Alexander Steenbeck book, does anyone have details of any KG 26 aircraft lost on this night?

Aircraft of II. and III./KG 26 were deployed from Southern France via Tavaux for an operation over the Channel and Rudi Schmidt's book »Achtung, Torpedos Los!« suggests that one Ju 88 was shot down and another crashed.

Thanks.
