| I've got it the Bf110 first flew with I/LG 1 [Intructional Division], this Gruppe becoming I[Z]LG 1 on Jan 1st 1939. - Others were issued to I/ZG 1 and I/ZG 76 in the early months of 1939 also....and....the DH 98 was the supreme nightfighter.... | |

Country: | Yes, I've read that they flew with I/ZG 76. 'like hannibals cavalry protecting the elephants; the elephants are my bombers' The 'indestructable' Bf-110s soon found how wrong they were in the BoB.

| I think of the funniest things of the war was using 109s to escort the 110s escorting the bombers.

| I think the funniest thing was they never really employed four-engined bombers, considering how much they liked 'bombing'....they seemed to like watching them come over day and night bombing them - and they never could decide which of their awesome designs to really use, to sort the compounding problems out with...... | |

Country: | it's the mods job to get them on topic, but C.C.'s normally the one to take them off topic, but you can't stay on topic forever, for example in the best tank killer thread we all agreed the IL-2 was the best, how can you argue something when you're all on the same side..................

The "Grief" had four Db605's paired in two to form a Db610. In other words, it was two engines to a propellor. Why they didn't just use the 801, I don't know... (Yes, I DO KNOW fighters got priority, but the Do217N's had Jumo 213's, which Doras and Ta-152's used) | |
