Re: JG 3 losses at Rostov, 1 February 1943
Laurent -
On 20 Jan 43, I./JG 3 was ordered to return to Germany without aircraft to rest, refit and re-equip. The journey by train was grueling and frequently delayed, beginning with a Soviet air attack on the station at Rostov on 1 February that cost the Gruppenstab 11 killed and wounded. It took until 10 March before the entire Gruppe was assembled at Döberitz near Berlin.
