I also wonder if flak from the German 88's imposed a greater toll on
the bombers than the German fighters?

"A single gun had only a remote chance of hitting or damaging an Allied bomber.
But many guns were used increasing the chances of a hit or damage.
"Numerous bombers were damaged and some brought down. Numerous crew injured or
killed. But the greater losses were to German fighters
