Re: Did KG 26 hit the cruiser Molotov in 1942?
Hello, Andrey.
On 31.07.1942 the entire II./KG 26 had 13 combat ready aircraft, and 17 non ready - thus 30 aircraft all in all. However - 10 of the aircraft reported was at Grosseto for Lufttorpedo training. (LT-Lehrgang). So in the unit there were only 20 aircraft at the operational bases at that point in time.
On 10.08.1942 they had only 6 combat ready aircraft in the entire Gruppe - out of a total of 30 all in all (including the 10 aircraft still training at Grosseto).
Regards,
Andreas B
