Hi Evgeny
The problem is with raport of Hptm Strom, in it he mentioned 13 mission on 14 airfileds, and you have mentioned 5-6, as me airfileds.
Maybe it is about attack done by both units of I and II/SKG 210? The it its?

74. SzAP, after first attack had lost only 15 I-15bis and I-153 plus 2 Ił-2, others planes were leaved, and whole unit had fast withdrown back. Second, there was also KAO unit on the same airfiled, which was also "smashed" at dawn. There were also air combats, when one I-153 was shot down, fighter was from 123. IAP, if right remeber, pilot KIA.

124. IAP had its bases on two airfield: Wysokie Mazowieckie (only 2 flights/escadrilas) and next one was 5 km from Łomża. The first was leaved without fight before 12.00 am.
Only second were operated by next 2 flights of 124. IAP: early in the morning Kokorin's taran done against Do 17 Z and later one victory claimed by capt. Kruglov (after 11.15 - before 11.40?). This airfiled was also 2 or 3 times attacked by Me 110. maybe by SKG 210?

The distance between both are not so long (25-35 km away). Only the 6 MiG-3 from Lomza had withdrawn later to the back. Often is forgotten, that this 124. IAP was split into two similiar group before 22.06.
I supposes that Łomża was 3 times attacked and Wysokie Mazowieckie 2 times on 22.06.

BTW there were two 100% losses, including crews, of 4./ SKG 210, both according German done by A/A fire, I wonder if one of them man can write on Kokorin's accounts? There are no exacte time of theses losses, only location?


17 SB of 39. SABP had took off and made air attack on the Bug (before LW attack done about 8.00), and later landed in Baranowicze, only the rest were attack (26 SB + 9 Pe-2), but a little later on the same place had just come a group of 7 SB from 24. SBAP of 13. BAD (which probaly were destroyed too?). Before they come they had done air attack on Germans in Bug area and had met Me 109 of JG 51.

This airfield had also 46. OAE PWF, which about 50% was demolished. I have four attack done by Germans on this airfield on 22.06.41. If I am right the last attack was done before 14.00 and later was "silience" as on 22.06.

Wolkovysk, I do not have any data about Soviet's units there?


33. IAP on Prużany was also leaved by the crews before 12.00 a.m. The last attacks done by pilots of Me 109s of JG 51 were after 9. p.m. on leaved airfiled. Much earlier Soiet personel got orders to withdrown to Pinsk.
He 111s and Me 110s had 2 attacks on the morning.
