The Dornier Do.17, designed in the early 1930s, was one of the most important German bombers during the first years of the war. The Do.17 Z was its most advanced version, with a new cockpit design, extended to insert a rear firing gunner, new more powerful engines, and more effective defensive armament. First adopted in 1939, the Z–version was also used for reconnaissance missions and as a night fighter. The Z–version was extremely resistant to enemy weapons and able to execute disengagement dives at high speed.

KG76
Kampfgeschwader 76 (KG76) was formed on 1 May 1939 in Austria and fought in most of the WW2 campaigns, from the invasion of Poland to the very end of the war. After being trained on Dornier Do.17 E at the end of 1939, the formation adopted the Dornier Do.17 Z-2, used during the Battle of Britain. KG76 was involved in multiple bombing raids over England, before moving to the Eastern Front.

NJG.2
Nachtjagdgeschwader 2 (NJG2) was a Luftwaffe unit equipped with the Do.17 Z–10, formed at Dusseldorf and later based in the Netherlands. They became famous for a series of successful night raids across the North Sea against RAF Bomber Command airfields.
