Me 110 losses on 7 September 1940 - circumstances

[John Vasco]

Franek,
The 'K' reports were closed for 75 years (from 1940). However, I have not heard that they have been released to our National Archive. Even if they do still exist, it is likely their existence will be denied. That is standard practise for previously secret/sensitive documents. The 'K' summaries 'did not exist' until they started appearing through requests via the Freedom of Information Act in the USA!

The tactics for a pure Bf 110 fighter unit would be escort to a bomber formation. The actual formation would, I think, be down to the Staffelkapitän or Staffelführer, particularly as the Battle of Britain progressed and formations would likely be of reduced numbers, unless more than one Staffel formed up together.
