Hi Marcel,

Absolutely amazing!

Interesting. Maybe Soviet units used a local time. Should be checked.

Marcel, your understanding is correct. The early morning report for 30 April report summarised known events up to that time, so those that occurred during the previous night. It is less obvious why the evening report for 30 April still includes this information, but it could be they simply used the morning report as a basis, so the information was simply carried over.

Regards,

Dan
