"At the end of Barbarossa, StG 1 had lost 60 Stukas in aerial combat and one on the ground." What date do You consider as the "end of Barbarossa"? 91.14.62.228 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:14, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Formed in November?
The article claims this unit was formed in November, so after the end of Invasion of Poland. But for example and  describe this unit as operational, and in fact as the one that carried the first combat mission of the war on early morning of September 1st. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:39, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Light/fire ship
Re the edits today; British sources describe this as a fireship — with fire extinguishing equipment. Why are should we rely on German sources? Dapi89 (talk) 15:10, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Bertke & Smith may have a mistranslation from the original reports. I've provided one English language and one German sources (  that state it was the Trinity House lightship LV 60 on the East Oaze that was sunk on 1 November (that is also the date give in Bertke & Smith). There is also a newspaper report from 1957  that calls the vessel a lightship. Nthep (talk) 16:15, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Additional source  I've yet to find any evidence of a fire-fighting ship called East Oaze especially one which coincidentally was sunk off the sands of the same name on the same/following day as the light vessel on the sands.  Even if you aren't prepared to accept these sources can at least agree that all of them, including Bertke & Smith, say the sinking occurred on 1 November 1940 not 2 November as the text currently suggests.

 * Fair enough. Dapi89 (talk) 11:49, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * A Feuerschiff (see https://www.elbe3.org/historie.html) is a floating lighthouse (quote "Ein Feuerschiff ist ein schwimmender Leuchtturm, ein Leuchtfeuerschiff.") MisterBee1966 (talk) 18:42, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
