Re: Lesser known details of WW2 part four
"III./JG 77 departed Norway in late June for Berlin, and a rude shock awaited them- for the defence of the capital they were to be re-equipped with ex-French Hawk H-75 A´s. Fortunately only 7. Staffel suffered this indignity, and then only for six weeks. But it was said that when the last Hawk had been handed over to a training school, the collective sigh of relief could have inflated every barrage ballon in Greater Berlin!"
