KG 2 Losses

[Adam]

I'm after losses for this geschwader for the dates 1/9/39 - 17/9/39 and 10/5/40 - 25/6/40.

If anyone can help even just partially that would be great.

Thanks in advance

Losses during the Polish Campaign were 3 destroyed and 16 damaged, all Do 17Z.

Losses from 16/09/39 to 09/05/40 were 8 destroyed and 15 damaged. Losses on 10/05/40 include 6 destroyed and 7 damaged.

Thanks for that, though I was more after date/time/location of losses than anything else, and if possible crew fates, etc.

RT, I'm looking your way

Suggest you get hold of Balke's book 'Der Luftkrieg in Europa 1939 - 41' which is in fact the history of KG 2
