KG 51 in April 1944
I think that almost all of II./KG 51's missions at this time were intruder and harassment bombing missions over England and especially over Bomber Command operational and training airfields in East Anglia. All this was in support of the main bomber effort under "Unternehmen Steinbock."
SKG 10 was also flying missions against England, usually in diversionary attacks to support the main bomber force but also attacking London on nights when the big bombers did not operate.
Some idea of the targets can be gained from the locations of the victory claims made by II./KG 51 at this time (see Tony Wood's lists).
