OdB LW for 25 IX 39 over Warsaw

[Mirek Wawrzynski]

Hi
Maybe someone knows the detail data about Luftwaffe OdB on 24-25 IX 1939 for the mass air attack ("carpet air strike") done over Warsaw on 25 IX 39.

German had used mixed, quite strong bomber air formation of about:
100 Do 17 of KG 77,
about 240 Ju 87 of LG 1, St.G 1, St.G 2, St.G 76, St.G 77,
next about 35 Hs 123 of II (Schl.)/LG 2,
+ 47 Ju 52 of IV/KG z.b.v. 2.

These air froce of about 400-450 bombers had made almost 1200 flights (dropted 558 tonns bomb) over Warsaw on 25 IX 39, destroying big part of the city (mainly the centrum). Presonnal losses done by Germans were very serious, of about 10.000 killed in one day (mostly civil) + many, many WIA.
After this massive air attack, which was personaly observed by Hitler and Goering Warsaw had capitulated in 3 days (on 28 IX).
