Re: Sonderstaffel 172
Well, Rémi, I would be kind of careful with Rosch's 1995 book. It was a ground-breaker when it was first published by Schiffer. Nearly all of his formation, renaming and disbandment dates come from just one source: Norbert Kannapin's 3 volume work on the Feldpostuebersicht that was published by Biblio Verlag 30+ years ago. Anyway, his May 1941 date for I./KG z.b.V. 172 is incorrect. Furthermore, it doesn't even make sense. Why would the Luftwaffe be disbanding transport units in May and June 1941 right at the time of Crete and the 22 June 1941 attack on Russia? That was one of the 3 or 4 times during the war when they needed them the most.
