Re: Question about luftwaffe raids on Moscow

Unfortunately, its all in Russian except for some reproduced German documents.

Yes, thanks. I have a copy. Khazanov covers the topic in a little more detail in "Bitter Lessons" but the most I could glean from that is that there were 9 raids in July and 16 raids in August. (But which nights in July were there no raids ?)
In Hooton's book the subject gets a half a paragraph and a mention of I./KG28, III./KG26 and KGr.100 flying 358 sorties against Moscow in July, but no note either on the source for that statement nor reference to any other units involved.
