Re: Unit info : U4+??
Hi,

U4 was ErgKgr4
It was advanced training unit, which was created at the end of September 1939 from elements of I./KG30, 7./FBK KG27, I/Lehrgruppe Ju 88 in Greifswald. One month later it was redestignated to ErgKGr4, allocated to Luftflotte 4 and given code markings: U4. In November 1939 it had 10 Ju 88 planes and 29 crews undergoing training. Apparently due to shortage of Ju 88 on 20.2.40 also 5 Do 17M and 11 Ju 87 planes were on hand.

Regards

Robert
