On the whole, before making more detailed corrections (looking at moves at the Staffel level), I start by assuming that, in July and August 1943, the actions of Stab, I, and III Gruppe can broadly be attibuted to the Battle of Kursk and the following soviet counter-attacks (Orel and Belgorod-Kharkov), and the actions of II Gruppe to the fighting over Kuban...
The late summer must also have been quite "active" but so far, I've concentrated my research on these two months.
Do you thing this is correct assumption (I know that there may have been a move Northwards by a small part of II Gruppe, but no more so far...) ?
