funny many of them were at the stage to fly back into Germany for home defense.

just checked the data : 23 Luftw. day fighter gruppen took part on June 7th 44 while another 4 more came later in June/July and even a short stint in August of 44. these 27 took the brunt of the Allied might and paid for it dearly with several heading back home to Germany for a complete refit in men and machines
