Detachment Kuhlmey
(German:
Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey) was a temporary unit of
Nazi
Germany's Luftwaffe
during World War II. The unit was commanded by Oberstleutnant Kurt Kuhlmey
and the detachment was built around the unit
Schlachtgeschwader 3,
which also was commanded by Kuhlmey. The
unit participated in large battles of summer 1944, during the Finnish-Soviet
Continuation War. When the Soviet Red Army launched its
fourth
strategic offensive on 9 June 1944
C. G. E. Mannerheim
asked Germany for help. Among the help that arrived was a Luftwaffe unit
that arrived to Finland on 12 June. The aircraft landed at the Immola
Airfield on 17 June. The unit used the whole airfield from there on. The
unit flew some 2,700 missions against the enemy and dropped 770 tons of
bombs on the enemy. It destroyed over 150 Soviet aircraft, about 200 tanks,
dozens of bridges and transport vessels. 23 of the pilots died and 24 were
wounded in battle. The unit lost 41 of its aircraft to all reasons. The
detachment consisted of some 70 airworthy aircraft to support the 200 strong
Finnish force,
but
its operational strength varied due to losses, additions and troop
movements. The unclear structure is partly explained by the Luftwaffe
replacement programs, where obsolete Junkers Ju 87 "Stuka" dive bombers were
replaced by Focke-Wulf Fw 190 jabo's (fighter-bombers).
According to this, II./SG 3 was training at Jēkabpils, I./SG 5 in Pori, and III and IV./JG
54 in Illesheim, and they could not participate in the fighting on the
Karelian Isthmus. I./SG 3, which was in Finland, received new Fw 190
aircraft as soon as they left Finland for Tartu. The
following units and aircraft in Finland belonged to Detachment Kuhlmey: The
transport squadron TGr.10 also belonged to the unit, and it consisted of 35
Savoia Marchetti SM.81/AR transport aircraft and a number of transport,
liaison and reconnaissance aircraft. The
majority of the aircraft of the unit left Finland on 23 July, but I/SG 5 who
stayed until 13 August. A memorial was raised at the Immola Airfield on 23
July 1994 in memory of the unit. Source:

Für mein Template der Fw-190 A6 habe ich nebem dem
entsprechenden Alpha Kanal auch
eine Bump Map in 4k
Auflösung erstellt, die meiner Ansicht nach den Bemalungen am besten
entspricht. Probiert sie aus und ersetzt im unten angegebenen Pfad die
entsprechende Datei FW190a6.dds.
Die Original Bump Map ist zur
Sicherheit im Ordern "Original" beigefügt!
For my Template of the Fw-190 A6 I had created beside the
