Hi, guys.

I need your help, please, on following topic:
Hermann Goering flak abteilung during 1942 in Russia.
The "Herman Goering Division" published by Osprey is very laconic about this period/unit - only a sentence stating they were acting along elements from 11th PzD, attached to Group Kleist.

Particularly I am interested in uniforms, but any other reference is welcome.

Thank you in advance,
Gabriel

The Kagero book #172 SdKfz 10/4 has some photos and colour plates. It is not all specifically only for that unit but there are some references. HTH.

I'm currently reading the Caraktere editions special issue about the Elite Panzer Units for a review to be published here.
I'll try to see how this FLAK abteilung is covered in it and give you some answers.

Feel free to send me a PM just as a reminder.
