Morlaix, Flugzeugführer Fw Bonsack, Fritz, + Bordfunker Ogfr Wittig, Otto, + Bordmechaniker Uffz Gawlik, Gerhard, + 1.Wart Gefr Schröter, Heinz, + Absturz. Bruch 80 %. (I am grateful to Matti for having provided the above) Thanks everybody for your continous support. GC |

106 is one of those units about which little is known due to switching types and then becoming part of KG 6. It did take part in the Baedeker Blitz & was in action at Dieppe but for the latter was in the throes of changing designation. It was mainly a Ju 88 unit so presume having a He 111 was for training or transport |

Operations during the period were focused on reconnaissance of British shipping and anti-shipping and ASR operations over the Bay of Biscay, Celtic Sea and St George's Channel.
