Re: I./KG 51 1944
Hi Chris,
Jan Horn, in Das Flurschaden-Geschwader, (2010), pp. 10-11, has for the night of February 20/21, 1944, a raid of 200 bombers planned to take-off at "20:00 Uhr". He lists the crews of II./KG 51 that took part and adds this on p. 11:
"Auch Oblt. Werner Pape, Kapitän der 1./KG 51, fliegt diesen Einsatz mit. Diese Besatzung startet um 20:45 Uhr in der 9K+FH von Saint-Andre-de-l'Eure aus ... Während Pape um 23:00 Uhr in Soesterberg landet ...". I presume Horn got the date and times from the flugbuch of either Pape or his bordfunker.
best regards,
Jim
