Re: Number of Luftwaffe sorties flown 22 June 1941

"Now better to see M. Solonin 2 books" "Nowja chronologia katastrofy vol. 1, vol. 2" 2010-2011, which is based on archiwal reports from regimenal and divisional level, he very good expalin this differences. On his www.side there were published some parts of both."

Hello Mirek,
I have been reading Mr. Solonin’s book with great interest. I have always known there was a bottle neck in High Octane Aviation production, but I had no real figures until now. But it also explains a lot of what followed during the invasion.
After the 1940 Campaign in France the Germans claimed they destroyed most of the French air force on the ground in the first days of the war. It turns out that was a lie.

Seach under Istoria near bottom of page:
Problems of the Luftwaffe before the war with the USSR (for example, air blitzkrieg in France)
Article A.Stepanova.

Even in the Moscow Conference in 1940 the assembled VVS commanders thought that strikes on air fields were not that effective.
