What I've always wondered is: what the blazes were *60* D.VIIs doing in one place at the same time? It's extremely doubtful that such concentration EVER occurred, especially in the closing days when the Germans were short of everything including fuel. (Some jastas didn't even top off the tanks in order to generate more sorties per day.)
So:
What was happening in that area which would have warranted such a commitment of scarce assets?
Whether it was 60 or 30 or 20, what was going on? Certainly they weren't all escorting the 2-seater.
After all, if it was important enough to saturate that particular airspace, much of the rest of the front was left without coverage.
