The Group took-up position in the assigned patrol area. Shortly, what looked like a rather large concentration of enemy bombers with escort fighters was encountered and engagements ensued. While the Group was able to take 10 human and AI fighter and bomber aircraft with us, we lost 13 aircraft to the combined firepower of the "Big Wing". Nine of our aircraft EXPLODED in flight to the LW mg and cannon. The 352nd slowed them down a little, but the "Big Wing" would have had enough He 111H-3 aircraft remaining in the flight to inflict damage if they reached whatever targets they were bound for. Pilots surviving that engagement continued to contribute through the remainder of the Frame when other enemy aircraft were encountered.
