7/KG76
 

Hello I am looking for some information.
During the periods from March 1940 until June 1941, what were the targets of this Geschwader.

Also I am looking into a crewmember who was either killed or died of wounds.

his name was Friedrich Geishofer I believe he may have been a Bordfunker. and he was in this geschwader.

thanks in advance.

Very general question.

III./KG 76 was involved in the campaign against France in May-June 1940, and later in the Battle of Britain and subsequent night Blitz until the end of 1940, when it returned to Germany. It returned to France between April and 7 June 1941, probably to participate in the heavy raids on UK in spring 1941.

It then went east to take part in the invasion of the USSR.
