Me110: Ill-used in BoB

[Evgeny Velichko]

Very interesting discussion, gents!

I am not an expert on Bf110 in BoB period, so cant add much.

But looking through early stages of Barbarossa, Bf110 units played a huge role in Luftwaffe operations even with only 4 Gruppen active on front. And I beleive theyr good result in escort/free hunt/ground attack missions was because of they played theyr missions in wright way, as it supposed during BoB (but not did all the time during it because of various reasons).

Also, 1 addition:
"Abwehrkreis" were widely used (and I can say - with good success) all through Ostfront fights untill Citadel operation ended, when last Gruppe (I./ZG1) was transferred to Reich.
