III./SG 4 JUNE 1944

The above unit was active up to around 12 June 1944 but after that, I can find nothing until it moved east at the end of the month. Was it temporarily withdrawn from the battle during this period pending its move?

Re: III./SG 4 JUNE 1944

Hi Chris,

Nick Beale has done an excellent job of telling the unit's story here: http://www.ghostbombers.com/sf/Normandy/sg4_1.html, including the period after 12 June 1944.

Cheers,
Andrew A.

Andrew: I suspected you would answer this! Useful (I think Nick forgot he had done this as we have been talking) and it goes to show that as I suspected, its part over the Normandy Beaches was next to nothing after the first couple of days

It's not that I forgot, just my characteristic modesty! Actually, now I know you're after "what SG 4 did next", I was going to point you to my piece on Geschwader Bongart: http://www.ghostbombers.com/Bongart/GB_06.html

Start at 18 June 1944 and keep going.
