Re: Meissler's (7./JG52) story and interrogation report

For example, he said that Soviet night air raids against his airbase were low-effective (no personal casualties, 4 a/c had some damages, almost all bombs didn't hit the airfield or fell in the center of airfield, where no a/c at night). In your logic, Meissler's only option was to say about terrible losses due to night raids.

Really, intercourse with NKVD was a hard expirience.
As you probably understand, you don't know certainly, what is true:
1. He said nothing really (so signed document is untrue)
2. He said all he know (or most of he know) and signed the protocol, but said to family that said nothing (for obvious reason).
As you can guess, the 2nd version was most common. But maybe it isn't about your relative, yes.
It is off-topic, of course.
