3. Flieger-Division Ju 87 Gruppen bases Spring 1944 (Narva area)?
Salut!
Can anyone answer to the question of bases of the Ju 87 -Schlachtgruppen of 3. Flieger-Division. That is II/SG 1, Stab, I and II/SG 5 and I/SG 5? (Ref: http://www.ww2.dk/air/hq/3fldiv2.htm ). Although the given reference has some bases it does not seem to jive with other information about the battles. During the Spring 1944 large battles were fought in Narva, Pskov and also Nevel area. The (ground) battles were most fierce in Narva area which was the hotspot of Eastern Front around April 1944. For that purpose bases like Tartu (Dorpat), Pskov and Dno are too far away. II/SG 1 is in the right area though (Tallinn-Laksberg & Rakvere (Wesenberg). But the Gruppe was supposed to be at Rovaniemi, there was an article about it in Luftwaffe in Focus? Literature about ground battles in Narva area continuously refer Stukas being from Kuhmley unit (= SG 3). That would mean the unit was also transferred (to Tallinn or Rakvere (Wesenberg)?) from Tartu (Dorpat)? I would guess the Ju 87 units in question were shuffled around according the needs of the frontline situation? Does anyone have the Einsatzbereitshaftmeldungen for the units for the period say early February to mid April, 1944? If I have understood it right these would give the bases in 10 or so day intervals? Flight logbooks might also given hints. My primary interest is SG 3 if searching data for all the Ju 87 units in question means too much work. I would use this information amongst other things to try fit some Bundesarchiv Ju 87 published photos into context of the ground battles. I do have some scattered written data from Finnish air observation logs and Heeresgruppe Nord KTB attachments, too. Combined with the knowledge of Ju 87 bases perhaps some new conclusions could be made. Thanking in advance, Kari PS. My private message quota is full. |

Dear Kari,
there is an excellent book about I. / SG 3 DORPAT, which covers nearly most of the I./3 missions in march 1944 in the NARWA, PSKOV PLESKAU and OSTROFF area. Fronteinsätze eines Stuka Fliegers, Helios Verlag Germany Cheers Sharkers For any mor questions contact me. |

Hello!
Thanks for the response. I have the book now. Somewhere in middle of my mess of books... IIRC the book did not fully answer to my question about the bases. Should read it again. Cheers, Kari |

There are disposition maps at Freiburg (their title is something like "Aufmarsch der deutschen Luftwaffe an allen Fronten") in the KART40 series that might help you.

Exactly what I was looking back then when I sent my question (2008). The question has long since been on the backburner. Yet not forgotten. A list of the Kart 40 so that one could order them from Bundesarchiv or somesuch would be very useful. Regards, Kari |

Yes, such Maps from Kart40 would be a delight...
BTT: For Fliegerdivision 3 in Feb-May'44, I can find these Stuka units (not all for all teh time..): II./SG1, Stab SG 3, I/SG 3, II/SG 3, I/SG 5 (didn't count in 10./SG3 on purpose) |

As far as I understood your primary interest is SG 3 in the NARWA area. Below you will find a list with missions of I. / SG 3 DORPAT flown in March 1944 in the NARWA, PSKOV and OSTROW area. I am also very interested in this subject and would be happy to get more information on the Stuka missions.

Re: 3. Flieger-Division Ju 87 Gruppen bases Spring 1944 (Narva area)?
Salut Philippe!
I sent my e-mail addres to you as PM. Hope to hear from you. Hi Sharkers! I have completely overlooked your response last year! It must have splipped past my eyes during the holidays. Please accept my apology and belated thanks. Have you compiled the mission list from HGr Nord KTB or somesuch? It has Luftflotte 1 Luftlagemeldungen for the Spring 1944 period. I would love to find similar for the Summer (June-September) but AFAIK the KTB attachements are not held in the archives (in West, at least). Cheers, Kari |
