Re: Fate of 6./KG2 on 19th August 1942
Steve: I suppose you have Balke's book? Times are given for the take offs of the losses (this is why I have been very generic with my Do 217 book for this day). Book does mention II./KG 2 a number of times (0942, 1508, 1537, 1603, 1715 hrs) but only mention of 6 Staffel is as you say 1154 take off. Handel was said to be 1508 take off. Overclaiming by the RAF for Do 217s was high....
The RAF claimed to have destroyed 42 Do 217s, probably destroyed another six and damaged another 48 so with so much over-claiming, saying who got whom is hard apart from the loss of the aircraft flown by Oblt Adolf Wolff of 5./KG 40 |
