Hi can anyone tell me where this squadron was involved in 1943 until the end of the war.

Formed at Berlin-Staaken in early Dec 42 and then transferred with 21 Fw 200s to Stalino for the Stalingrad airlift. Moved to Zaporozhye in January 43 and airlifted supplies into the Kuban. Ordered back to Berlin-Staaken and disbanded the last week of Feb 43.

By the way, it wasn't "KG 200 zbv" but rather KGr. z.b.V. 200.

Hi Chris
Thank you for the information. I have an award document for the clasp in silver dated September 1943.
He was in 2.KGr.zbv.200. Thank you also for the correction.

Regards
Steven
