Re: Fliegergruppe z.b.V. 7 (7th Special Flying Group)

Nice bit but I see you have some problems with naming convention. Eg. Tschenstochau is only a German name of Częstochowa, thus you cannot say it was Tschenstochau then and Częstochowa now. Katowitze is actually either Katowice or Katowitz. Also, you use name Krakow (Kraków) while in German it is Krakau and in English Cracow. I think it causes unnecessary mess.
Apart of that comments, have you found any losses of the unit? Polish partisans claimed some German aircraft shot down, though it is hard to find any summary of such incidents. Also, do you know if Ju 87s based at Zamość-Mokre (Himmlerstadt) were in any way subordinated to Fl.Gr.z.b.V. 7? They did some operational flying in late 1943 attacking populated areas together with other anti-partisan units.
By the way, there was no need for such units in the West simply because there were no partisans there, at least in the same sense as here.
