Re: Luftwaffe to Lincoln August 17th/18th, 1943
Brian,
I have the same information as you have.
But I think that Balke is only talking about the contribution of KG 2 to the raid, 55 + 13 = 68 a/c. He doesn't give figures about the contribution of possible other units. We know that I./KG 66 was flying in this raid, not only with the 3 Ju 188's but also with Do 217's. It is also possible that Price in his book "Blitz über England" from 1978, were he has mentioned the 88 a/c to Lincoln, also has taken in account the contribution of SKG 10.
About your second question.
I have seen the AirMin Weekly Intel. Summary about the 5 POW's of KG 2 and had the same idea. Maybe Marcel can help.
