Hi Can anyone provide me with infos about the condition that the Leibstandarte was in before their refit in France? Was it really in a bad shape, exhausted and in the need for a longer break? How fast did the Leibstandarte refit & got at least near nominal strength? All I know is that they were ...

Hi I'm trying to track down where the 4./JG 54 was from January to April 1944. One sources says: *** "III.JG 54's withdrawal from Russia was the result of a decision by Adolf Galland, the General der Jagdflieger, to exchange one complete western based Jagdgeschwader with another from the easter...

The Source is "Germany and the Second World War Vol. 4". I have to correct one thing, the book lists only "Sturmgeschütz", at that time there isn't anything else than the StuG III but maybe something else is meant. It states the losses with 104 so that is pretty close to your 96....

Hi AFAIK the tank replacement to the German army in the east was very low as Hitler wanted the production for new tank units. These are the replacements for the east front from 22.6.1941-31.1.1942: Panzer I = 42 Panzer II & IIF = 69 Panzer III = 332 Panzer 38(t) = 108 Panzer IV = 102 Panzerbefeh...

Hi I have some questions about Pak 7,5cm and its Variants I hope someone can help. 1. Where is the difference between the 7.5cm PaK40/1, 7.5cm PaK40/2 & 7.5cm PaK40/3? 2.

Thanks, I'll try to get my hands on them.

I have that but what's not so good about is that he doesn't distinguish the versions, for example he simply list all PIII with 5cm & 7,5cm guns together, I was locking for something more detailed and differentiated by versions.

I'm interested in a monthly breakdown of the German tank production. Till now I only found the overall production numbers for the different types but no monthly breakdowns.
Is there a source for this at all?

Hi Well that's what I'm searching for, I used numbers provided from "Germany and the Second World War" and calculate these numbers but just can't find anything detailed to confirm those numbers. The calculation is base on "Germany and the Second World War: Volume IV: The Attack on the...

Some notes from my side: I have a series of books called "Kriegstagebuch des OKW" and the volume for 1941 lists besides the "Kriegstagebuch der Operationsabteilung des Generalstabes des Heeres"(diary) also the "Tagesmeldungen der Operations-Abteilungdes GenStdH" both gi...

Thanks very interesting post!

AFAIK the Luftwaffe and after an unsuccessful Lufttorpedo attack the Marine too preferred bombs instead of torpedos for attacking ships. Hitler himself decided to stop the procurement of more Lufttorpedos on 28.11.1939. What I would like to know is were any Lufttorpedos still used for attacks on shi...

Do you have info about what action Z/III/KG 30 saw?
Air combat, ground support or ship attacks?
Should all have been possible as the C-2 seems first be have been intended as fighter bomber and was later used as night fighter.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks
TWO hits from 82 sorties... well if the rest went a similar way they indeed weren't very successful.

Is it possible that the III/KG 4 also had some Ju 88?
And do you know when the Z/III/KG 30 got there nightfighter version of the Ju 88? Did they have normal Ju 88 before?
