22. Learnt on 19/7 that JG 2 is to be rearmed during July with 2 cm FF M machine guns in so far as this has not already been done. In order that the necessary number of machine guns may be computed, JG 2 is to report by 21/7 the number of a/c bearing at present: 1) MG FF A 2) MG FF B 3) MG 17. (A)
CX/JQ/162 22/7/40
3. On 22/7 Fliegerkorps 5 told JG 2 that during July all fighter and heavy fighter units equipped with Me 109 E-4 and Me 110 C-4 to be re-armed with “MG FF M”. Consequently all Me 109 E-3 and Me 110 C-2 were to change their Feder (springs) and Schienen (struts) accordingly. The necessary new parts were ready in Luftpark St. Cyr and could be fetched from there. In future, new machines would come from the factories ready equipped. (A)
