Re: KG1 losses, feb 1943

Igor,

Some time ago I asked for KG1 He177 losses from WAST, they sent the records for 19 aircraft lost with crew causilties between 15-3-44 and 1-8-44. Of these 19 only 5 were combat losses. From the Griehl/Dressel book and the recent Smith/Creek books it would appear that in the same period KG1 had a total of around 40 He177's lost/damaged. I do not know how this figure compares with the Baeker book, but if KG1 He177's attacked tanks at low level they do not appear to have suffered heavy losses,

Regards

Brian Bines
