Re: Sonderstaffel Schwilben, 10.5.40
Thanks everyone for the answers everyone
@Hihotte: Where did the pictures come from?
@Stig: KGzbV 108 was a seaplane unit set up for Weserubung. It had a Stab and three gruppen numbering 8 Staffeln altogether. 8./108 had Ju 52 See while the remaining Staffeln had He 59 aircraft sourced mostly from the vrious K.Fl.Gruppen. With German forces cut off in Narvik a 9 Staffel was created, IIRC.
Other aircraft used included Do 24 and 26, and Bv 138
Some references to ops can be found in Claasen's 'Hitler's Northern War' and Shores' 'Fledgling Eagles'
