Stukas on the Eastern Front

[busdriver]

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]

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.

So StG 1 and StG 2 were equipped with B models? And they participated in BoM, correct?

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.

During BoM StG 1 and 77 were stationed west of Moscow while StG 2 was stationed west of Kursk (south as unreasonable has stated).
