While Doug & Larry's books are definitely very good with the top down detail - commanders, locations, etc., they do not give the detail I think the thread originator is looking for. There are published histories that supply aircraft and crew details for LG 1 (Peter Taghon), KG 54 (Radtke), KG 27 (Walt Waiss), KG 2, KG 100 (both Ulf Balke) and KG 6 (Jan Horn). The KG 30 book, 'Achtung, Torpedos los' lists most of the crew losses, but no aircraft stuff. Some of these do great day to day accounting, some don't. Many of the older unit histories from Motorbuch Verlag, such as KG 4, KG 53 & KG 51 give some, but very incomplete crew details and minimal aircraft detail.
