Re: KG2 DO-217 loss 27 june 42
No. During the afternoon of the 27th, I, II, III/KG 2, and II/KG 40 were moving to launching fields for a retaliation attack that night for the 1,000 bomber raid on Bremen on 25/25 June. The raid was to be launched against Weston-super-Mare, and the first a/c took off at 23:45 -- 13 a/c of I/KG 2. Altogether, 53 bombers attacked. 2 Ist Gruppe Do 217s were damaged at Evreux due to technical problems.
