Re: From Barbarossa to Odessa (Luftwaffe Strikes Pt 1)
Very interesting and challenging topic. I will jump in later on.
However, it should be discussed in a separate thread in another sub-forum, not here.
Before that, let's remember that on the Southern Front there were no Yak-1s, Il-2s or Yer-2s at the start of Operation Barbarossa.
There were indeed so-called "new types" (e.g., Pe-2, Su-2), that were equal to most German types in service in mid-1941, but their number was rather small (IIRC, I even gave a percentage of about 25%). More in the new thread.
