By M.Holm site 2.(H)/14 was located in Africa in this time.

Guys

I agree with Dmitry, 2.(H)/14 is always reported in the NA Desert at this time. If Russian front is ment it was on a very long range mission. Any chance Eastern Desert is ment or is the unit belonging correct? Most other (H).14 units did serve on the Eastern front.....

Cheers

Dmitry and Stig, this Loss is listed among some for 6(H)/13, 4(H)/21 and 5(H)23 crash locations for these include Kokereka, Seschtschinetkaza, Ropeka and Potschew under Einsatz Osten. Perhaps 2368 has been listed under the wrong command or it was on a one off mission, is there a chance the unit given on the QM's list is wrong and 2368 was in another unit in the East. I could attach the page to an E-Mail if you PM me,
