KG 76 sources?

[Bombphoon]

Does anyone know if a unit history for KG 76 exists, published (not including de Zeng/Stankey/Creek's 2008 Bomber Units of the Luftwaffe 1933-1945: A Reference Source Volume 2 & Blitz Bombers: The Arado 234), or other archive source material?

KG 76 was an important bomber unit that participated in all the major campaigns from the start to finish of WW2, but there seems surprisingly little information about them in the public domain.

Thanks.

The KG 76 Association intended this but nothing came of it as far as I am aware

[John Manrho]

You have the volumes of Jan Horn on the unit.

[Bombphoon]

Thank you both, appreciated.

Correct me if I am wrong but Jan's book covered the latter years:

For KG 76 in the Poland Campaign have a look at https://wwii.germandocsinrussia.org/...ffe-okl?page=2 , specifically files 605 through to 619.

BA/MA (Invenio) digital files may also be worth a look e.g.

RL10 - 156, 159, 160, 163, 168, 170, 172, 177, 179, 180, 182, 185, 186, 566, 567, 671, 673. items 156 - 186 cover the same time period as the germandocsinrussia files and may duplicate them.

Thanks Andy, that's really great.

There are two downloadable files at the Bundesarchiv on their experiences operating the Ar 234: RL 10/566 and /567.

Thank you Nick - I'm more looking at 1940-41.

KG 76 Association compiled a complete UK loss list which I have. They had the intention of a history but never came to anything
