gary,

There was a Stirling that was flight-tested by the Luftwaffe but I've never seen any suggestion that it was assigned to an operational unit. Its nose had been damaged and the Germans improvised a covering for the broken areas.

I./KG 200 operated a variety of German types, a few B-17s, even fewer B-24s and a few French flying boats.

After the final reorganisation of November 1944: II./KG 200 flew Misteln; III./KG 200 was I./SG 5 renamed, flying Fw 190 Fs; IV./KG 200 was the operational training element of the Geschwader.
