I have long been intersted in KG200 , its aircarft and misions. I read, and thoroughly recommend. the book „KG 200 ,The Truth“ by Peter Stahl, a former pilot in KG200.pilot in KG 200. The missions are fascinating, and man must have taken skill and courage to carry out, something neither side in WW2 was short of. Graet site and Best Regards from UK, Gary
