Re: KG6 downed aircraft 25.3.1943
 

Hello! Resurrecting this old thread for a question about the forward bases used by KG 6 on this night.
I understand I. and II. Gruppe used Deelen as a forward base, but what airfield did III. Gruppe use?


Thanks in advance, Timon

I understand this was deduced from investigation of aircraft and crews which came down on land; no III Gruppe loss came down on land

Thank you Chris. Nothing mentioned in the KG6 Chronik by Horn? I don't own it unfortunately.
