Re: Lapland war
Hello!
Away from my books, so caveat off my hat response.
One Ju88 was also claimed by HLeLv Brewster pilots. Not a real loss.
German units acting against Finns were NSGr 8 and a detachment of JG5 (9th Staffel?).
Also two Fw 200 launched two Henschel missiles each against Finnish ships at Röyttä (Tornio) harbour. These were probably from KG40.
Also German reconnaissance units AGr 120/124? And 1./32.
All in all Lapland War (Finns vs. Germans) there was not many air to air battles. Reconnaissance was primary mission and bombing came next. After October or so FinnAF fighters did not have enough range to fly against Germans. In 1945 only Ju88 and Do 17 were used for missions. There was/is only few airfields available in Lappland.
