Losses of FK I on 29.5.44
On that days morning, the VVS attacked the airfields in
Husi (20 IL2, 15 fighters) and Roman (18 IL2, 15 fighters). Several airplanes were damaged in Husi. Who knows details? Should be SG2, maybe SG10, JG52, KG4... |

Re: Losses of FK I on 29.5.44
... Or is anyone willing to share loss data from III./JG52, SG2, SG10, KG4, NAGr.14 or rumanian units in the timeframe 28.05-8.06.1944?
For the soviet side, I have some information already. Also, anything on comat flight reports or such is wellcome... i.e. I got info that there were 1100 flights on 30th of May alone... I found out that nearly all air battles in tha time were ca. 20-30km N of Iasi, where two small german ops intended a local improvement of teh defensive positions ("Katja" and "Sonja"). Somehow I feel that this forum does neglect my thread here . PS: I am slightly maniac'ed about this topic because of my year-long work on the map for IL-2 and I got some new infos which I hope to widen now. |

Re: Losses of FK I on 29.5.44
Thank you! I will put here my data on I & II/JG52 and later will try to summarize and combine with ground ops.
Nearly all claims during these battles were made in locations "78 6xx" and "78 8xx". So far, this can be identified on the map below. An open point for me is the "xx" in these locations. Who knows how this can be interpreted? A cutout of the 1943 Luftwaffe 1:300.000 map of the area: |

Re: Losses of FK I on 29.5.44
Superb, thank you! Slowly, I get the full picture concerning the german losses .
If one imagines that one day there were 1.100 Luftwaffe flights over this small area... similar concentration of aircraft like Kursk (measured in flight per km frontline). |

Re: Losses of FK I on 29.5.44
I have to "warm up" this thread...
Quote:
Is it possible that such an incident would not be reported in your source? Also, one more plea: Do you also have loss data of 10. & 12./SG9 (Hs129) and/or romanian units during the timeframe 29.5. - 8.6. 1944? I.e., I read that romanian units lost 4 Ju87 on the 30th of May [Weal, Stuka units...]. |

Re: Losses of FK I on 29.5.44
Hi, Yogy.
No real discrepancy for 6.6.1944: The unit reported one aircraft total loss without enemy action = probably landing accident or similar. In this accident the pilot sustained no injuries. They also reported one pilot wounded in category 1-17 (= due to enemy action). As you stated yourself, this pilot landed his aircraft safely, and the damage to the aircraft would then probably be below 10% (shattered canopy or whatever, maybe you can add details??), and thus there will be no entry in the summary loss records for aircraft, but there IS an entry in the summary loss records for personnel (it would have appeared in the GenQu list of July 6th 1944 if it was available). Did this clear things? Regarding SG 9: 10.(Pz)/S.G.9: 01.06.1944 1 aircraft, total loss, combat 12.(Pz)/S.G.9: No aircraft losses recorded during this period Rumänische Stukagruppe: 30.05.1944 2 aircraft, total loss, combat 30.05.1944 2 aircraft, total loss, non-combat 31.05.1944 1 aircraft, damaged, combat (durch Flakbeschuß) 31.05.1944 2 aircraft, total loss, combat (durch Bordwaffenbeschuß) Rumänische Jagdgruppe: 30.05.1944 1 aircraft, damaged, non-combat Rumänische Schlachtgruppe: 31.05.1944 1 aircraft, total loss, combat 03.06.1944 3 aircraft, total loss, combat 03.06.1944 1 aircraft, damaged, combat06.06.1944 1 aircraft, damaged, combat Rumänische Kampfgruppe: 03.06.1944 1 aircraft, total loss, non-combat 03.06.1944 1 aircraft, damaged, non-combat Regards, Andreas B |
