Was the aircraft listed the first Fortress loss???

Luftwafffe "claims" have the following

01.07.41 Uffz. Sümmerer 3./JG 52 Fortress II  10-15 km. W. Borkum: no height

With a couple of more later in the month.

23.07.41 Fw. Karl Pfeiffer: 3./JG 2 Fortress I  La Pallice 21.51 Film
23.07.41 Uffz. Georg Schmalenberg 3./JG 2 Fortress I  La Pallice


(These are claims only, to be treated with care)

And I cant find any claims for Norway (They may have been destroyed)
