Re: Krim Unit

@ Parabellum - The unit originally was equipped with 24 Fw 58s from Kampffliegerschule 1 based in Tutow. These were used almost exclusively until around June/July 1943 when they were traded for Bf 110s of various versions. Interestingly, the strength return for the unit states no aircraft on strength at the beginning of August 43, but by the end of the month had acquired 11 Bf 110s. It wasn't until sometime in October 1943 that the unit finally got 6 He 111s. Then in May '44 the bombers were passed on to other units leaving just 9 Bf 110s.
