I remember that the first Luftwaffe unit to serve in the Middle East was I/NJG-3. There a picture out there that shows a derelict BF-110 of theirs with the unit insignia, cat with its back arched.

PG244: "During the month [August 41] the first Luftwaffe night fighters reached North Africa when Hptm Peters led the Bf-110s of I/NJG-3 from Greece to Derna."

PG 265: "During the day [15 September 1941] the... role being undertaken by the Bf-110s night fighters of I,/NJG-3 was demonstrated when three of the unit's aircraft took off at 0600 to make strafing attacks."

pg283: "The opposing forces saw a small reduction in to the units available, when the night fighters of I/NJG-3 returned to Europe.

pg 515: "It is possible that some of the aircraft lost at this time [October 41] had fallen to Bf110s pilots of I/NJG-3, since all the claims by III/ZG-26 are available, and several of the losses which have been listed [in this volume] are not included."

So, the question lies; Did I/NJG-3 claim any victories in its short stint to the Middle East?
