Re: "Daventry" broadcasts of USAAF + RAF losses
I can't believe this has stumped everyone. "Daventry Abschüsse" show up regularly on RLM documents. There's a column for them on the daily Luftlage maps at the BA-MA Freiburg (KART 44), right beside the regular "sicher Abschüsse". They're frequently surprisingly close (Daventry is always lower, of course.) I'm certain I read once that the Daventry BBC station broadcast a report every evening containing the USAAF and RAF NYRs for the previous 24 hours. Is this true? Did the Allies think it useful to broadcast accurate loss figures to the Continent?
Still hopeful for answers,
Don
