Kampfgeschwader 200
Kampfgeschwader 200 (KG 200) (in English ''Bomber Wing 200'') was a German ''Luftwaffe'' special operations unit during World War II. The unit carried out especially difficult bombing and transport operations, long-distance reconnaissance flights, tested new aircraft designs and operated captured aircraft.〔Geoffrey Thomas: ''KG200: Luftwaffe’s Most Secret Squadron'', Hikoki Publications, August 2004, ISBN 1902109333〕〔Günther W.

==History==
The unit's history began in 1934, when the Luftwaffe, impressed with Oberst (Colonel) Theodor Rowehl's aerial reconnaissance missions over Poland, formed a special squadron under Rowehl's lead that was attached to the ''Abwehr'', Germany's military intelligence department. As the ''Abwehr'' started to lose the Führer's goodwill during the war, a new reconnaissance unit, the ''2nd Test Formation'', was formed in 1942 under the command of Werner Baumbach. This unit was combined with ''1st Test Formation'' in March 1944 to form KG 200 on 20 February 1944.
On 11 November 1944 Baumbach became ''Geschwaderkommodore'', all aerial special-ops missions were carried out by KG 200 under Baumbach's command.〔Thomas 2003, p. 128.〕
