According to Georg Brutting's "Das Waren die Deutschen Kampfflieger Asse, 1939-1945", Max Brandenburg, bomber pilot, sank a number of Soviet ships
in the Black Sea. Awarded the Ritterkreuz in June 1944, with 5.KG 100.

Other sources I have seen list him with 5.KG 101 when he received his RK.

What unit was he with while operating over the Black Sea?

I believe elements of KG 26, 51, 76 and 100 were active in that area during 1941-43.

Thanks in advance!
