Re: When did 2.(H)/AufklGr13 fly the Do17P?
Hello Larry,
when looking trough some old files with handwritten notes from long ago, I found these information which might be usefull:
2./(H)/ 13 had an established strength of 12 Hs 126 and 3 Do 17M during Mai und June 1940.
4.5.1940 there were 12 Hs 126 (10 ready for combat) and 2 Do 17M available,
11.5.1940 also 11 Hs 126 (7 ready for combat) and 3 Do 17M (one ready),
No report for 18.5.40 available, but only a note “no losses 12.-18.5.1940”
25.5.1940 it was 12 Hs 126 (11 ready), 3 Do 17M (ready) plus one Do 17M “overstrength”
1.6.1940 again 12 Hs 126 (10 ready) and 3 Do 17M (2 ready),
8.6.1940 it was 10 Hs 126 (6 ready) and 3 Do 17M (2 ready) plus the one Do 17M overstrength again.
2./(H)/ 13 reported Do 17M from 18.11.1939 onwards next to its regular Hs 126. No Do 17P mentioned anyway.
Source for above information is Genst. Gen.Qu. 6. Abtl. (IA), „Einsatzbereitschaft der fliegenden Verbände“ hold at Freiburg MA RL 2 III/700 to 734.
