I./KG 40 - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Thanks Brian et. al.,

How reliable are these K reports. I've yet to come across other indications of I./KG 40 being equipped with Hs 293 -- though that of course does not rule it out. And on the date in question, 1./KG 40 was not operating from Bordeaux-Merignac but Orleans-Bricy. Could this be a case of mistaken identify and the aircraft here really from 4./KG 40? One aircraft from that unit was also shot down that night.

As for the accounts of 1./KG 40 and 2./KG 40 being involved in attacks, I can certainly accept that given the available evidence. Does the report say specifically they were engaged in missions with Hs 293 weapons?

Thanks,

MB
