If you mean Kampfgeschwader zbV2 I know they were involved in Holland, transporting, suplying en giving aircover to 22ID LL

It's possible that they joint 22ID afterwards during the France campaign.

Cheers

Hi,

According to the Ulf Balke book 'Der Luftkrieg in Europa:Teil2' II/KG2 did take part in operations against Dieppe on 19 August 1942, and lost 7 aircraft destroyed and 2 aircraft damaged.
The book lists all details about the missions flown that day as well as loss lists relating to the day.

Hope this helps,

Mike
