Anyone have any info on the aircraft destroyed/damaged in the following attacks on Schwabisch Hall?
Type, werknummern, side numbers? I think they were probably all G-1s or G-6s.

13 Sep 1944 5 destroyed and 1 damaged by bombing
5 Nov 1944 8 destroyed and 6 damaged by P51s and P-47s
25 Feb 1945 4 damaged by bombing
22 Mar 1945 3 destroyed and 3 damaged by bombing

Any info appreciated.

For the given dates and location, retrieved the following info from Balss' Materialverluste book:

2/25/45 G-6 wrkn 15012, G-6 wrkn 1505 (II/NJG6)
I would also suggest posting your inquiry on the NJG forum http://disc.server.com/Indices/169401.html
Hope this helps.
