Stalingrad order of battle
Can anyone please help me find out about Axis fighter groups that took part in Stalingrad battle untill 19 november 1942 ?
So far I know about Jg3 and JG52. |

Re: Stalingrad order of battle
Thank you very much, I am still researching - you gave me good info so far to make my research.After I finish I will post it here just in case anyone else needs it.
BTW: where can I find a structure map of german units during 1942 (I am most interested to see Luftflotte 4). |
Re: Stalingrad order of battle
Oxley, I managed to extract info for JG3, JG52 and JG53, but I have a problem with JG77: I looked at all JG77 units and between august and december 1942 none of them were present at Stalingrad (they were South of Stalingrad in Caucasus).Can you please direct me to a source where it says JG77 was present at Stalingrad ?
PS: is Krasnogwardeisk an airfield near Stalingrad ? it is the only one I wasn;t able to locate. |

Hi,
Krasnogwardeisk and Siwerskaja were south west of Leningrad. Regards Robert |

Re: Stalingrad order of battle
The information I posted is available in the book "The Luftwaffe Data Book", by Alfred Price.
It shows the OOB of Fighter Units in Luftwaffe 4 (as listed above) as of 27 July, 1942, at the start of the Summer Offensive. It wouldn't hold necessarily for the whole of the period you are looking at. |
Re: Stalingrad order of battle
The order of battle of the Lw in july 1942 published in "The Luftaffe data book" includes I and II/JG54 in both Luftflotte 1 and Luftwaffenkommando Ost.
The number of Bf.109 operated is different: Luftflotte 1 I./JG 54 40 - 25 II./JG 54 40-28 Luftwaffenkommando Ost I./JG 54 43- 27 II./JG 54 40-33 What's wrong? Thanks. |
