Re: Sonderstaffel Schwilben, 10.5.40

Hi Adom

Sorry, but Shores makes the same mistake as I do. He refers inside his book (not the index) to KGrzbV 108. His index states KGzbV 108, but so it does with each and every one of the other KGrzbV units as well.

I don't have the other book you mention, but it can hardly be classified as a primary source either.

Shores lists the number of aeroplanes used during Weserübung by the unit and it seems unlikely that 8 staffeln should use only 37 aeroplanes. That number corrsponds much more to a Gruppe strength.

All secondary sources I have ONLY list a KGrzbV 108 formed in 1940. NO KGzbv is listed anywhere.

To get to the bottom of all this, I would VERY much like to know the primary sources that lists this KGzbv 108, when each unit was formed and what happened to it. I would also like to know its relation ship (if any) with KGrzbV 108. The latter unit is what ALL my secondary sources lists

Cheers
Stig
