NETSCAPE Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 I'm revisiting my notes about Stuka operations during the BoS. The focus of this thread should be the relocation and operating out of Karpowka-West. Listed below is what the IL-2 Career description says about Karpowka vs. what ww2.dk says. (personally I use https://www.asisbiz.com/Luftwaffe-Units.html because it's easier on my eyes. It has the same information as ww2.dk. I reference ww2.dk because that's what everyone here always uses) In regards to Karpowka-West: II./StG 1 = IL-2 says "mid-September" yet ww2.dk says "10.42 - 11.42" I./StG 2 = IL-2 says "mid-September" yet ww2.dk says "11.42 - 12.42" II./StG 2 =IL-2 says "October 13th" yet ww2.dk says "11.42 - 23.11.42" Note StG 2 Stab is listed as "13.10.42 - 23.11.42" on ww2.dk I was hoping to make some missions set during mid-oct from Karpowka-West. Flying from Obliwskaya is just too far for most people to enjoy. Thanks for any insight or further conflicting information
1CGS LukeFF Posted April 1, 2018 1CGS Posted April 1, 2018 Volume 1 of Dive-Bomber and Ground Attack Units of the Luftwaffe has this to say: II./StG 1: "August: supported the advance on Stalingrad, operating from Gorlovka, Lakedemonovka, Tatsinskaya, and Oblivskaya (there 31 August) until September, then moved forward to Karpovka-West...moved back to Oblivskaya and Morozovskaya [sometime between 19 November and 23 November]." I./StG 2: Says they arrived at Karpovka-West "on or about 13 October." II./StG 2: same as I./StG 2
