Re: KG26 operations 1940
hi,
you can also take a look into "die dunklen jahre" by alexander steenbeck. it is a book about the airport of luebeck-blankensee, the homebase of kg 26. lots of information and photos about the men and their machines. i liked it very much, although it is in german. all the best jim |

Re: KG26 operations 1940
Thanks Jim
I'm sure both books are excellent, but all that I am endeavouring to establish is whether KG26 claimed ships sunk on the dates I listed. Perhaps that information is not available. Cheers Brian |
