Bf 11 E 7 83
intro
The first pages of history for the famous Zerstrer Bf 110 were written at the end of 1934, when C-Amt RLM (the technical branch ofthe Reich's Air Ministry) issued a specification for a two seat, twin engined aircraft to fulfill a need within the Kamfzerstrer category.Submitted proposals came from Focke-Wulf (Fw 57), Henshel (Hs 124) and BFW (Messerschmitt Bf 110). In the spring of 1935, theRLM changed its thinking on the spec, and cancelled the universal Kamfzerstrer category in favor of two specific types, theSchnellbomber and the Zerstrer. The new concept of a heavy fighter of the RLM were best satisfied by the Messerschmitt design,which wasn't really dictated as much by the original specifications. The first prototype, the Bf 110 V1, first flew May 12, 1936, and themodified second prototype V2 was submitted to the Erprobungstelle in Rechlin on January 14, 1937. Four development aircraft, A-01to A-04, powered by JUMO 210Da engines, were delivered at the beginning of 1938. A production run of 45 Bf 110Bs began in July,
powered by JUMO 210Ga engines, delivering some 500kW (680hp). At the end of 1938, the production line for the high performanceDB 601 finally got going, and these were mounted into the first major Bf 110 version, the Bf 110C. The Bf 110C, as was the case withthe Bf 110B, was armed with two MG FF cannon, mounted in the fuselage below the cockpit floor, four MG 17 machine guns mountedin the nose and one rear firing MG 15 machine gun manned by the gunner/radio operator. There was a crew of two. The Luftwaffereceived a total of 169 Bf 110Cs by September, 1939. The first combat experience of the type in Norway and France uncovered a smalloperational radius, unsuitable for an escort fighter. The first attempt to remedy the shortcoming came in the form of a large,underfuselage conformal type external fuel tank, called the Dackelbauch. The Bf 110C-3, adapted to carry this tank, were redesignatedD-0. Results were not entirely satisfactory with the D version, and so there was a reconstruction of the fuel system, after which aircraftof the D version carried two drop tanks under the wings, and a small oil tank under the fuselage. The Bf 110D also standardized alonger fuselage, by way of an extension at the rear carrying a life raft and other emergency survival gear. This was a feature also evidenton some subsequent Bf 110Es, which were equipped with bomb racks under the fuselage and wings. The majority of Bf 110Es werepowered by the DB 601N engines. The following Bf 110F received the DB 601F engines housed in reshaped nacelles, with newer,more rounded spinners, aerodynamic features taken from the Bf 109F. Upgrading efforts were noted in the armament as well, where
the MG FF were replaced by MG 151s. Significant changes came with the Bf 110G, powered by new DB 605 engines. The rear firingMG 82Z double gun appeared on the G-2, and with the G-4 came the replacement of four forward firing machine guns with two 30mmMK 108 cannon. The G-4 also saw larger rudders mounted. The Bf 110 went through not only technical changes throughout its career, but also through a development of its operational use. Itentered the war as a heavy escort and attack fighter. By the time of the Battle of Britain, it became apparent that the aircraft, in the role ofescort fighter, had been pushing the envelope of its capabilities. On the contrary, as a defensive weapon against British bombers, the Bf110 made an extremely good showing of itself, and remained a deadly foe through to the end of the war. The placement of RAFbombing operations within nighttime hours from 1941 brought the Bf 110 into the realm of nightfighting on the Western Front. On theEastern Front, they excelled as fast fighter bombers. Their earlier role as a day attack fighter was still fulfilled not only on the EasternFront (where they were employed throughout the war successfully even as the originally envisioned escort fighter), but also on theWestern Front into the depths of the summer of 1944, where the role was abandoned primarily, and finally, due to the effectiveness ofAmerican fighter escorts. As a nightfighter in the G-4 version, thanks to a heavy forward firing armament and radar, they soldiered onliterally until the very end of the war. As such, it was the nightfighter role that would prove to be the most significant for the Bf 110during the course of the Second World War.
The wasp emblem ( "Wespe") was designed In the autumn of 1939 by Lt. Richard Malchfelder, a technical officer of one of the Zerstrergruppe(II./ZG 1). It was originally composed of three small wasps, and was utilized by the same Gruppe of heavy fighters that went through severaldesignation changes (including II./SKG 210), and finally, in early 1942, ended up as II./ZG 1. Soon, other Gruppe of Zerstrergeschwader 1came to use the wasp emblem, and their Geschwader carried the operational name of "Wespen".This aircraft wears the RLM 74/75/76camouflage pattern.

NJG 1 was the oldest night fighter unit in the Luftwaffe, and was founded by the legendary Oberst Wolfgang Falck. At the beginning of 1942, the units II.Gruppe was led by MajorWalter Ehle, within which he served over three years. In 1942, the well known night fighter Wilhelm Herget, as an example, also served within the ranks of 4. Staffel II./NJG 1. ThisG9+JM is interesting not only for the sharkmouth marking, but also for the temporary application of a naval RLM 72 green on the upper surfaces, consistent with the fact that thisplane took part in patrol flights for Operation Donnerkeil. A quick identification mark came in the form of a yellow fuselage band. During the operation, the Germans managed tonavigate the battle cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, and the cruiser Prinz Eugen, through the English Channel from Brest (Bretagne, France) to northern Germany. TheLuftwaffe, between the 11th and 13th of February, 1942, ensured uninterrupted patrols over the formation. II./NJG 1 and II./NJG 3 were tasked with cover duty in twilight and overnighthours. On the second day of operations, elements of both night fighter units relocated to Lister airbase in Norway, from which the last segment of the fleets cruise was covered.The units detachment lasted in Norway through to the end of February. All air to air victories during Operation Donnerkeil were achieved by day fighters of the Luftwaffe

Herbert Kutscha (1917-2003) served with II./JG 77 at the beginning of the war, but he was soon transferred to 5./ZG 1 equipped with Messerschmitt Bf 110s. During the Battle ofFrance, he shot down a number of aircraft, including a Bf 109 of the air force of neutral Switzerland. Later, he also gained much success on the Eastern Front as a ground attack pilot,partially due to his II./ZG 1 evolving into II.SKG 210. Kutschas II.Gruppe/SKG 210, under the command of Hptm. Rolf Kaldrack, was specialized in ground attack operations,specifically low level bombing. The Bf 110 was able to move at a faster speed over unfriendly territory than other bombers. Here is where the term fast bombardment wing (SKG =Schnellkampfgeschwader)* was coined. Kutscha was awarded the Knights Cross after his 22nd victory. At that time there were 41 aircraft destroyed on the ground, 41 tanks, 15locomotives, 11 anti-aircraft guns, and 157 transport vehicles added to his tally. In June, 1943, he received command of 15. Staffel IV./JG 3 Udet, utilizing single engined fighters. Inthe summer of 1944, he took control of II./JG 3 in Normandy, and of II./JG 27 by the end of the year. From February, 1945, he commanded III./JG 1 on the Eastern Front. All in all, heflew over 900 sorties, gained 47 kills, six of which were four engined heavies, and 22 of his kills were with the Bf 110.* German Geschwader (squadron) was much bigger unit than RAF or USAF squadron, it was corresponding to USAF wing. Gruppe was equal to USAF Group, Staffel was similar unitas the USAF squadron.
Herbert Kutscha (*1917 + 2003) na zatku vlky slouil u II./JG 77, ale brzy byl pevelen k 5./ZG 1 vyzbrojen Messerschmitty Bf 110.

One of the aircraft of 1.(Z)/JG 77 commander, Lt.Felix-Maria Brandis, while stationed on the Eastern Front. His credit count tallied 14 victories, of which five were British (including apair of Fairey Albacores) and nine Soviet aircraft. Lt Brandis died on February 2, 1942 flying Bf 110E-2 (W.Nr.2546) LN+AR at Olang, when he crashed on the return leg of a combatsortie during bad weather. By that time, his unit had been re-designated 6.(Z)/JG 5 (January 25, 1942). The designation of the unit progressively changed from 1.(Z)/JG 77 to 6.(Z)/JG5, 10.(Z)/JG 5 and 13.(Z)/JG 5. On the nose of the aircraft, there was the emblem of a dachshund with a Rata (Polikarpov I-16) in its mouth. For this unit, this was a characteristicmarking, because a number of these dogs were mascots of the Dackelstaffel over the length of its existence, irrespective of the unit designation carried at any particular time. Somesources even say each crew had their own dog. The wiener dogs even occasionally flew on combat missions with the crew. The unit opposed British aircraft, as well as Soviet, innorthern Europe. This aircraft, along with Lt. Harry Kripphal, fell on June 18, 1942, a victim of anti-aircraft fire 30 km west of Murmansk.

D W. Nr. 4035, Sonderkommando Junck, Iraq, Mosul Air Base, May 1941 After the eruption of the Anglo-Iraqi War, which lasted from April 18 to May 30, 1941, the Italians and Germans gave their military support to the Iraqis. The Luftwaffe opposed theRAF with the unit named Sonderkommando Junck, which had in its inventory Messerschmitt Bf 110 fighters, Heinkel He 111 bombers, and Junkers Ju 52 transports. The unit wascommanded by General Werner Junck, who, during the course of the First World War with Jasta 8, gained five aerial victories. Between the wars, he was a well known sport pilot.The Messerschmitt Bf 110s carried Iraqi national insignia, but were manned by German crews. In fact, the aircraft in question came from ZG 76 and ZG 26. The only units victorycoming out of this episode was gained on May 20, 1941 by Lt. Martin Drewes of II./ZG 76 (a future successful night fighter ace), when he shot down a Gloster Gladiator piloted by SgtSmith of A Squadron, Habbaniya Strike Force, over Fallujah. Messerschmitt Bf 110 E W.Nr.4035 was found by the British after a forced landing, was repaired in September, 1941 andchristened Belle of Berlin. Later, it was flown to Egypt, to No.267 Squadron. The aircraft was written off after a forced landing en route to South Africa.
