Re: Losses of KG 51 on 22.06.41
The III/KG 51 had in fact contact in Stanisłwaów area only with 12. IAP of 64. IAD, not with 149. IAP (he and 247. IAP, 166. IAP fought versus Stab, I, II/KG 27, III/JG 77, I(J)/LG 2), as a wrongly mentined earlier. The whole 64. IAD had lost over 50% of its nominal strenght on 22.06.
The losses were heavy for 12. IAP too, which lost on the ground 36 fighters destroyed, damaged (only 4 were later repaired) plus 3 next were shot down of the 60 fighters: I-153 (45) and I-16 typ 5 (15).
12. IAP was on Bouszew airfield near Stanisławów. Pilots of 12. IAP had claimed 11 victories (3 fighters plus 8 bombers) on 22.06.
