Re: Help searching documents on Luftwaffe in Greece 1943
Hi Themis -
You might find fragments of one KTB or another for those units at BA-MA, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. I would like to suggest that you get the multi-volume published book on JG 27 by Dr. (jur.) Jochen Prien. In this you will find all of the unit's daily activities for your time period of interest. For the other 4 units, your best bet will be the "Luftlage" section of the Heeresgruppe E daily reports. These are at BA-MA and also on microfilm. Additionally, you can go to London and research the BNA HW 5 CX/MSS series for that time frame. These two archival sources will give you a lot but certainly not everything.
It is clear from your question that you are just starting out on this. The Luftwaffe destroyed about 96% of its records during the first week of May 1945 and very little is left. Accordingly, research is a matter of painstakingly and tediously piecing fragments together from unrelated and often discordant sources.
Best of luck to you.
