KG 1 'Hindenburg' in October 1942
According to Michael Holm's site, KG 1 had detachments of I and II Gruppe, as well as all of III Gruppe, at Morosovskaya in October 1942. These units flew attacks on targets in Stalingrad, but did they also support the German offensive into the Caucasus? I do not have Larry de Zeng and Doug Stankey's excellent 'Bomber Units' books to hand just now, unfortunately, which would have helped to answer this question.
There is an interesting additional issue here, which Larry and Doug did not have the space to cover in detail. Luftflotte 4 attempted some longer-range operations against Soviet industrial targets at this time, so I would like to check whether KG 1 was involved in these raids.
Regards,
Dan
