III./JG 2 - March 6, 1943

Hello/Bonjour,

I am looking for details about the mission (German view), claims and losses of III./JG 2 (and perhaps other units involved ?) on March 6, 1943 during the raid onto the Lorient U-Boat base.

Best regards,
Frederic

Hello Chris,

Thank you for your reply. Any details in the book regarding the places the bombers were shot down? And I would be very pleased to know names of 7./JG 2 pilots.

Best regards,
Frederic
