Any Me-262 Historians help me with this 'shoot-down' account please?

MP,
Have just seen your post. I have referred to Robert Forsyth's 'Jagdverband 44' Squadron of Experten pp.64-70 (published by Osprey)

1. 10/11 Apr 45 - JG7 ordered to vacate Berlin Airfields and transfer south to Bavaria.
2. 16 Apr 45 -14 Me262's led by Adolf Galland intercept Marauders from the 322nd BG - 2 bombers lost, no jets.
3. 16 Apr 45 (pm) - 5 Me262's attacked P-38's from US 15th dive bombing a bridge at Walchensee - no losses, either side
4. 17th Apr 45 -This is the action you are referring to. Galland led a formation of 7 Me262's to attack bombers near Nuremburg. 'White 12' was forced back to Riem with undercarriage problems. 'White 10' was damaged by the Thunderbolt escort and made it back to Riem. In this action one enemy aircraft was shot down with another probable. JV44 reported the loss of 1 jet, athough the identity of the pilot and aircraft are unknown?
5. 18th Apr 45 - Steinhoff's crash on take-off.

Refer to my 'Jagdverband 44 - the Bats out of Hell' campaign (missions 13, 14 and 15) found on Mission4Today. The above actions are simulated in these missions.
