Luftwaffe to Lincoln August 17th/18th, 1943
Friends,
In the evening of August 17th, 1943, the Luftwaffe send 88 bombers to Lincoln. This was an almost 100% KG 2 operation from bases in the Netherlands. About 10% of the bombers were from KG 6 or units related to KG 6. E.g. E.Kdo.d.Lw. 188. This unit, E.Kdo.d.Lw. 188, was doing the conversion of KG 6 crews from the Ju 88 to the Ju 188 at that time. Three Ju 188's took part in bombing Lincoln. By the way, no bombs fell at Lincoln that night. About the KG 6 component in this operation I have some questions. Was KG 6 during this period not flying in the Mediterranean? And if they were part of the operation which planes were lost? Was E.Kdo.d.Lw 188 at that date allready 4./KG 66? Jaap
