27.Nov.43 German-Rumanian forces made an attempt to destroy Siwash bridgeheads (to east from Perekop). 2-Mot.bombers and Stukas supported that action.

Rumanian Grupul 3 Pikaj made 9+12+12+10+10 Ju87 sorties, each group with 4 Bf109. No doubts III./SG3 also took part, but I have no exact numbers.

I./KG55 also took part according to it's KTB, and maybe III./KG55 and I./KG4.

To yogybär:
II./SG2 appeared in Crimea in the end of Jan.44 only, info in www.ww2.dk incorrect.

Best regards,
