Luftflotte 2, 1941-42

Introduction

Air Ministry A.H.B. 6 Translation of Enemy Documents. These lists were translated by the Air Historical Branch on the orders of the British Cabinet for text in official histories to be published later. They date around 1949 to 1954. All German material from A.H.B. was sent back to Germany in 1960-62. Documents probably from the department of Genst. Qu. 8. Abteilung. Needs revision & updating. Submodels of Ju 88 and Ju 87 are unconfirmed. I have changed the Stuka unit IDs to match other sources as the original uses the designations of StG 3 before I/StG 1 and II/StG 2 were redesignated.
