Re: StG.5 1942
Peter
I./StG 5 was more or less either constantly on the move or had their staffeln spread out all over northern Finland and Norway. You can say they were the fire brigade of the Wehrmacht. However they were never enough and never really able to turn out any 'fires' what so ever.

Very interesting details which seems to confirm my suspicions. The British convoys learned to stay out of range as much as possible. Perhaps it is correct to say that the early 1942 convoys could be reached by the Stukas while the latter could not? Most of the Stuka shipping attacks were made against the ships when they moved into the inlets and harbours in the Murmansk area.
