Is there a list of losses of Soviet observation balloons that were destroyed by Luftwaffe fighters or by german artillery guns during WWII?

I know that some Finnish fighters had destroyed these Soviet observation balloons before. Anything yet at all on the shootdowns of these manned balloons by Luftwaffe fighter planes in the Eastern Front?

I wonder what specific tactics did the Luftwaffe fighter pilots used in the flying missions against enemy observation balloons? You know the balloons' ropes that anchored to the ground?
