Re: Gefechtsverband Helbig/Hallensleben/Kowalewski
Dear friends,
This is far more then I expected.
Norbert may I come back to you via P.M.?
Nick, I was not expecting your survey from NA (for me still PRO).
More or less I was hoping that someone else has done the analysis about this unit and then the answer could have been simple. Thanks for all your information. I have to study it carefully.
Living in the Netherlands and have been studying the airwar over the Netherlands the three GVs during Market-Garden were known to me but are outside my scope. Just as the first GV Helbig.
Interesting is that you have mentioned the Mistels of KG 101.
Was KG 3 with the He 111 and V-1s not involved in GV Hallensleben from the beginning of this unit?
And what about an Aufklärungs unit? If I was in charge of the GV, I would like to know what the results have been.
Furthermore I would like to understand the reason for this GV.
Can I see it as an effort to control the units of the Luftwaffe in the West after the IX.Fliegerkorps has received the order to coordinate the transfer of the KGs to KG(J)s?
And was the number of units involved too small for a Division and therefore they have called it a GV?
Looking forward for your ideas.
Jaap
