What do we really know from primary sources about Russian-manned air units in the Luftwaffe?
There clearly were some minor air units manned by technically Soviet citizens for the Luftwaffe.
However, what do we actually know about the composition of Russian-manned air units? I can only find internet references to such units, most apparently going back to something entitled, "Luftwaffe der Streitkräfte der Völker Rußlands ROA", which claims a mini airforce of some eight squadrons embracing all arms of service including fighters, bombers, reconnaissance aircraft and transports and even a single Me262 jet fighter! Yet it appears to entirely lack sourcing. Is this largely urban myth? What do we actually know from primary sources about such claimed Russian-manned units, if anything? Many thanks, Sid |
