Attack on ships.

On May 22, 1941, the l./St.G. 2 was deployed to Malois airfield in the far southeast of the Peloponnese. The airborne operation over Crete had started a couple of days before. At dawn on May 22, mountain infantry units embarked in large numbers of motorized caiques left the northern islands for Crete. A scout reported the approach of a grouping of English warships from the east. The group took off to defend it. The first attack was unsuccessful and the group landed to resupply, carrying 500kg and 50kg bombs. In the interim the transport flotilla was decimated.

On the next mission they found the cruisers HMS Gloucester and HMS Fiji detached to provide AA protection for the destroyers HMS Kandahar and HMS Kingston picking up survivors from the destroyer HMS Greyhound. Both cruisers were sunk.

The Bf-109 as a fighter-bomber (Jabo - Jagdbomber).

The attachment of bombs to the Bf-109 began in July 1940 and the tests were successful enough for the order to be given that each Jagdgruppe should organize a staffel (squadron) as a fighter-bomber. These aircraft were designated as Bf-109 E-1/B, E-3/B, E-4/B and equipped with an ETC 500 external rack.
