Re: sg10 in July 1944

Geschwader's losses in July due to "Enemy Effect", i.e. destroyed in the air or on the ground by the enemy, was 48, mostly Fw 190 F-8s.

On 16 and 18 July, I. Gruppe was operating from Kaunas/Lithuania while II. and III. Gruppe were based at Zamość in SE Poland.

I'm guessing many or most were hit by AA fire while attacking Russian ground forces at low altitude and/or were caught on the ground by VVS Il-2s, Pe-2s and fighters. I hope someone here has the unit's NVMs because I would like to know the answer to your question, too.
