Re: 7/JG2 and III/JG2 flight details records for 23 June 1942
I carried out some research on this some years ago-sadly, very few who took part are still around. However, it is thought:

7 & 9/JG 2 were on standby.
7 Staffel scrambled 8 ac with a rotte as lookout
Faber scrambled later and replaced a 7 Staffel ac that turned back.

According to some of the Czech pilots I interviewed, they only saw 4 FW 190s at one time so numbers were low. Faber and Reuschling are no longer alive
