Kampfgeschwader 6
''Kampfgeschwader 6 (KG 6)'' (Battle Wing 6) was a ''Luftwaffe'' bomber unit during the Second World War. The unit was formed between April and September 1942 and was equipped with Dornier Do 217, Junkers Ju 188 and Junkers Ju 88 bombers.
The ''Geschwader'' took part in operations over Britain, the Eastern Front, North Africa, Italy and Normandy.
==Formation==
While officially formed on or about the 1 September 1942 at Dinard/Brittany in northern France, the history of the ''Geschwader'' dates back to 11 October 1941. On that date, the ''Luftwaffenführungssab'' in Berlin ordered ''Luftflotte 3'' in Paris to form a ''Stab'' unit for a new ''Kampfgeschwader'' which was to carry the number 6. The new bomber formation was to comprise ''Küstenfliegergruppe 106'', ''Kampfgruppe 606'' and ''stab./Küstenfliegergruppe 406'', with its subordinated ''staffeln''.〔de Zeng ''et al'' Vol. 1 2007, p. 61.〕
The first date that ''KG 6'' was mentioned was 30 April 1942, when ''Luftflotte 3'' documents recorded its formation at Dinard under ''Fliegerführer Atlantik'', but with no aircraft or aircrews. On 3 June 1942, the new unit's ''Geschwaderkommodore'' ''Oberstleutnant'' Joachim Hahn, former ''Kommandeur'' of ''Kampfgruppe 606'', while flying a Messerschmitt Bf 108 near Dieppe, was shot down and killed by Royal Canadian Air Force fighter pilots of No. 401 Squadron.〔'High Blue Battle' Mcintosh, 1990, page 101〕 In August 1942, Berlin ordered a full ''Geschwader'' to be formed, stating that the unit was to be a special bomber force to operate against key British industrial targets, as well as command and communication centres. To this end, it was to have its own pathfinder capability.〔
