busdriver Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 I read Rudel's book back in high school (44+ years ago). But I have no recollection of timeline of the Stuka's introduction in Eastern Front. Can somebody help me out? Where were Stukageschwader used during Barbarossa? They are not included with the BoM campaign. So where were they during BoM?
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 The Ju 87 B (not ingame) was part of Barbarossa from the beginning. The D only came in late 1941 / 1942 and was in full use by thetime of the battle of Stalinrad.
busdriver Posted January 14, 2018 Author Posted January 14, 2018 So StG 1 and StG 2 were equipped with B models? And they participated in BoM, correct?
unreasonable Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Stukas were involved in Barbarossa right up to the attack on Moscow: St.G 1,2 and 77 (77 in the southern sector of the front), equipped mostly with Bs. See OOB in this thread. https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/452667-Luftwaffe-Order-of-Battle-21-June-1941-Forums
NETSCAPE Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) During BoM StG 1 and 77 were stationed west of Moscow while StG 2 was stationed west of Kursk (south as unreasonable has stated). Edited January 16, 2018 by NETSCAPE
MiloMorai Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 http://www.ww2.dk/ is a good site to visit. There is even a section on Luftwaffe air fields tho no USSR yet.
NETSCAPE Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I prefer this site. Same data, different layout: https://www.asisbiz.com/Luftwaffe-Units.html
