Addition:
Report from Bef.Krim to AOK17 22:20 18.Apr.43:
From 20:40 air raid against airfield Saki and Sarabus. According to unconfirmed report, 1 enemy a/c shot down.
5 our a/c (He111) are burning.
(It is a preliminary report, final - 7 destroyed and 9 damaged)
From Soviet side:
It was the raid of 50.AD DD (50.division of long-range aviation) .
8 crews from 5.GAP DD 21:47-22:33 MSK (20:47-21:33 Gernan) bombed Saki airfield, claimed 10 fires (assumed as burning aircrafts), 2 explosions and explosion of a fuel tank on the northern border of airfield .
3 crews from 21.AP DD 21:33-21:43 MSK also bombed Saki airfield, claimed 8 fires (assumed as burning aircrafts, probably the same), 2 explosions and 6 hits to runway.
Also, 3 crews from 21.AP DD 21:33-22:44 bombed a Saki sanatorium (according to agent data, used by German pilots), claimed 1 building destroyed.
No losses from the Soviet side.
As we can see, results were very good, and claimed results were close to reality.
Of course, many raids were far less successful. But in some cases we can't say nothing about German losses.
I must interrupt the post and continue it tomorow
Best regards,
