[Jim P.]

There are recorded Hs 123 losses for II.(Schl)/LG 2 starting at the beginning of the campaign in Poland through to the middle of Jun-40 and then, after a pause during the BoB, starting again in Apr-41. The last reported loss was for a 6.(Schl)/LG 2 Hs 123 on 6-Oct-41. The majority of Hs 123 losses from 22-Jun-41 through mid-Jan-42 are for 10.(Schl.)/LG 2. There were no Hs 129 combat losses for II.(Schl.)/LG 2. (There was a single Hs 129 loss in Germany for II.(S)/LG 2 in Dec-40.)

The first recorded loss in a war zone for the Hs 129 was in the Soviet Union in May-42 with 5./Schl.G. 1. After mid-Jan-42 all Hs 123 combat losses are for Schl.G. 1.
