Leonidas Squadron
Military unit
The Leonidas Squadron, formally known as "5th Staffel of Kampfgeschwader 200", was a unit which was originally formed to fly the Fieseler Fi 103R Reichenberg, a manned version of the V-1 flying bomb, in attacks in which the pilot was likely to be killed, or at best to parachute down at the attack site. The Reichenberg was never used in combat because Werner Baumbach, the commander of KG 200, and his superiors considered it an unnecessary waste of life and resources.
