III/ZG 1 Tunisa ME 210 losses

[Andreas Brekken]

Hi

Realize that Evgeny might be offline for a long period.

I have details of all the losses you asked about, James.

There are som discrepancies between my records and the loss list linked from him, mostly that he or the person that made this listing have included the losses of 11. Staffel in the listing on III. Gruppe losses. I realize that these units might have operated in tandem, but there is no doubt that the 11. Staffel were counted as part of a IV. Gruppe, and their losses are at no time reported as III. Gruppe (in typical Luftwaffe fashion there are one questionable one on 13.11.1942, if the listing is correct, the aircraft in question is reported as III./Z.G.1 by GenQu, but listed as 11. Staffel in the list. The code 3E + NQ is not a III. Gruppe Z.G.1 code either, but a KG 6 code, so the loss obviously occured before thay had time to repaint the aircraft, and the command structure might have been unclear at this specific point).

(These are losses on 25.1.1942, 28.11.1942, 29.11.1942, 27.12.1942 and 24.03.1943)
