Hello Chris,

I started off talking about V/KG 2, but I am wondering about all of KG 2 now, on the specific subject of their succeses against night fighters. That book looks like it will be very useful, thank you. It is great that this part of the air war has been thoroughly researched! As in the case of the bombing campaign, I wonder what the Germans were trying to achieve with these small-scale intruder operations. They might have been quite useful on the Eastern front, against the technologically inferior Soviet air force, but in the West these missions were almost suicidal, as you noted.


I have sent you a PM.

Regards,

Paul
