Gents, don't forget that the LW will start with around 1000 less crew members than OTL after the battle of France is over ! Of course, they have replacement pilots in the pipe, but these ones are green, so for the LW losses will be high. Moreover, the LW will begin in August to base (at least) fighters and reco planes in South of France to keep an eye on Corsica and the coasts. Xth FliegerKorps will have to be rebased in southern Italy at the end of January. VIIIth and XIIIth are following for the beginning of February. Before moving, these groups will need rest and reinforcements.
