A KG 77 history was being drawn up (by the Traditionsgemeninschaft some years ago) but all I have seen is a list of bases, St Kap and RK-winners. Whether it was by Ulf I do not know

Thanks Ed! It will probably have the largest amount of Ju 88 S-1 and S-3 photos you have ever seen in a unit history, I think :)

Well that’s a shame there is no history of KG3 - I’ve just bought a Flugbuch and document set to a 5./KG3 flieger. His FFS in Gold urkunde shows he saw a lot of action and his Flugbuch looks like it has nearly 200 Feindflug in at least.

Sounds like you’ve got a head start for writing a KG 3 history then!

...pad it out with a few extracts from this issue of Der Landser - despite the cover these are stories from II./KG 3 during the summer of 1941 (Barbarossa). With four or five 'Starts' a day it would have been 'easy' to rack up a fair few Feindflüge

..and there are pics in that very expensive French archive

I have a few old issues of Der Landser but was led to believe most of it was fiction?
