II/KG 100 in the Mediterranean
Recently, going through "Aces High" (Christopher Shores and Clive Williams), noted a number of RAF Nightfighter claims against II/KG 100, over the Mediterranean, 1942.
Several of the unit's He 111's lost near Alexandria during Spring and Summer. Number shot down over Malta in October. II and III Gruppe aircraft destroyed near Bone in November/December (following Operation "Torch").
I know next to nothing regarding II/KG 100.
What type of missions in Mediterranean in 1942, especially around Alexandria. Small scale bombing, mining, other?
Thanks,
Markr
