KTBs of German bomber groups within July 1942-February 1943

[Nikita Egorov]

Gentlemen,

Who knows if any KTBs or other operational documents of German bomber groups (except III/KG55): KG51, KG76, KG4, I/KG100 (others subordinated to Luftflotte 4 on July 1942 - February 1943) are available in German archives, if yes then what are references for this records?

TIA

Hello Ota,

Thank you. I know this file but it is difficult to decipher anything without help of people who already saw them. e.g. RL 10/178-182 are titled "III/KG76", what is that all about, what period they cover etc. Besides, judging by Soviet documents that sometimes contain not the announced info, but suprisingly other files I can assume that somebody could come across the needed files not in the places they should be stored.

Hi Nikita,

RL10/486 KG4 KTB Nr.12 08.11.-29.12.42
RL10/31 KG4 KTB Anlagen 08.11.-29.12.42
RL10/662 III./KG51 Befehle, Meldungen 18.06.-31.07.42
RL10/663 III./KG51 Befehle, Meldungen 01.08.-16.09.42

RL10/178-192 concerns KG76 but in 1939.

Regards

Robert

Thank you, Robert. The last two on III/KG51 are definitely to the point.

Robert: How early does the III/KG 51 KTB go? Reason why I ask is I have pages from 12 Aug 40 and have wondered if the rest exists for 1940?
