Re: I./KG27 & Stalingrad Air Supply

Hi,

I don't have the book you're looking for but I have a book called The Luftwaffe War Diaries by Cajus Bekker, which has a few words to say about KG27. I don't know if this is of any use to you. he says

I./KG27 - deployed 20.11.42 to 30.01.43
II./KG27 - deployed 29.11.42 to 30.01.43
III./KG27 - deployed 18.01.43 to 30.01.43 under Major Thiel

for the Stalingrad airlift under the overall command of Transport Commander Oberst Ernst Kühl.
KG 27 was under the command of Oberstleutnant Hans Henning von Beust and was based at Millerowo about 160miles west from Stalingrad. This airfield was overrun sometime between 16th Dec and 24th Dec. I can't find an exact date as yet
