Re: Aerial minelaying Feb-Mar1943 Black Sea

From "Bomber Units of the Luftwaffe 1933-1945 Vol. 1" by Henry L. De Zeng and Douglas G. Stankey it has from 20Feb43 that the III/KG4 started bombing missions against harbours and airfields along the Black Sea coast. To Saki (mid-March) flew bombing, minelaying & target illumination missions in support of counter attacks at Novorossisk.
No mention of minelaying by I,II,III/KG51, I,II,III/KG55. Does list the III/KG27 making a raid on Gelendzhik and Poti on the 22Apr43.
