Re: 4./NJG11 Bf109 WN '1666333', lost 3-4 April 1945
Hi Franck,

just a slight correction to your assumption

'5/4' means 5th April to the French and most of the english-speaking word, including NZ

'5/4' means 4th May to Americans.

The NJG11 strength return for 5th April ("5/4") includes the WN of aircraft on- and off-strength, and thus the WN of recent losses of aircraft are often shown. In this case, the WN of two Bf109s lost on the night 3-4 April are given in the strength return, while the actual losses are also individually reported in seperate ULTRA decypts.

Cheers

Rod
