Luftwaffe Air Units on the Crimea spring 1943?

[Harry64]

Can someone tell me the Luftwaffe air units stationed in the Crimea in the spring of 1943 and take part in the fighting around the Kuban bridgehead from March 1943 - May/June 1943.

Maybe is there a book about these battles?

Many thanks

Harry

Maybe try search www.ww2.dk for names like "Saki" and other airfields in the Crimea?

Hoping that something comes back...

Early May 1943:
Bagerowo: 10./ZG 1 (Bf 110), Stab, I & III/KG 51 (Ju 88A)
Saki: II/KG 55 (He 111H)
Kertsch: StG 2 (Ju 87D), III/StG 77 (Ju 87D), NAGr 9, 1.(H)/21 (Fw 189A), 7.(H)/32 (Fw 189A)
Sarabus:4.(F)/122 (He 111H, Ju 88A/D)

Please allow some questions from my side:
- What do you do with this info? Still, you miss all units based in the Kuban area and the Kampfgeschwader which came in from the North.
- Do you know about soviet deployments? In return I'd be happy to learn about these .

Thank you for your help.

I´m missing the fighter-component. Have you some data for me?

Interested, becuase I´m read in an book von C. Bergström, that between March and May 1943 heavy air battles took place between Luftwaffe and Soviet Air Force, and that on the german side most aircraft of the southern front were stationed on the Crimea and Kuban area.

MAYBE: you can help with all german air units who took part in these battles about the Kuban Brückenkopf?

Many thanks for your help

Harry

PS: any good books about these fightings?

So, nothing comes back

Anapa: Stab, II JG 3 (Bf 109G), 8./SchG 1 (Hs 129), II/SchG 1 (Fw 190A, Hs 123)
Taman: Stab, II, III,13 (Slow), 15 (Kroat)/JG 52 (Bf 109G)

Books: In English, I am afraid you have to wait for BC/RS vol.4 if you want detailed infos.
