KG 51 onslought on 22 june 1941
Hello
I recently acquired Wolfgand Dierich's KG 51 history book, that states this geschwadder suffered grevious losses on the eve of russian campaign, on 22 june 1941.The author refears at more then 20 crews lost altogether within all three groups. I wish I knew the truth, because I doubt this is true. I have the official KG 51 order of battle for 24 june 1941 and the strength returns had not suffered any particular modification, I mean after such a devastating blow, those real blody lossees must have mainly affected the strength for each of the gruppe. I do not believe any argument the germans had time to replace their losses within 2 days so that 24.june strength returns were already completed , because they did not have the necesarry time for it, especially during those hetic battles. Please respond. Regards, Bogdan |
