Page 99: Ofw. Fahje’s Condor ditched into the sea near Camariñas.

Page 124 bottom: The photograph shows Fw 200 C-4 W.Nr. 0183, which had St.Kz. GC+SL and flew its first Stalingrad mission on 31 Jan 43. Subsequently it got V.Kz. F8+EK with 2./KG. 40 and when this unit became 8./KG 40 in Nov 43 it was simply re-serialled F8+ES. When this photo was taken it was with 9/KG 40 as F8+GT. The upper victory mark is dated 17.8.43 and concerns the downing of Cpt. Maxwell’ss 480th Gp. USAAF B-24 by Oblt. Küchenmeister. The lower victim mark could not be identified. See Page 147

Page 128: It was not only aircraft and crew from I./KG 40 that were moved eastwards but from I., III. And IV. Gruppe forming K.Gr.z.b.V. 200.

Page 137: Stab I./KG 40 moved from Vaernes to Fassberg only in Nov 1943 to undergo training on He 177, while 1/KG 40 had already gone there in Sep 42 and 8/KG 40 in Feb 43 (the latter being re-named 2/KG 40 in Nov 43). Herzog’s 2./KG 40 was re-named 8./KG 40 in Nov 43 and continued operating their Condors with III./KG 40 until the end.
