Re: Fw200 Great-britain

For the record. The Fw 200 over England where not suposed to be there and where ordered to be out of range of fighters. They operated under the order of Fliegerfuhrer Atlantik, in service of U-Boat operation, finding convoys etc, communicating with U-Boats. For this the KG 40 and 3(F)123 where station at Sola, Norway from mars 1941 to 1944. In losses over Iceland all 7 aircraft down from different staffeln F8+GM, FR, BB,EK,KL,FK,CK,FL to name all the 7. To wander in over England was a sure death sertificate. It was the 4U+ aircraft of 3F. 123 that where suposed to nose in over England, Scotland and Ireland.
