Re: Meissler's (7./JG52) story and interrogation report
Hi, Andrey.
OK, I understand what you are saying. The point I was trying to make was that even if the former soviet documents are in the archives one will still have to do a bit of digging around in order to get the full picture of what happened on a given day. Using your example - to find out what 812 IAP was up to between May and September 1943 - one have to find it from other sources, not the war diary of the unit itself.
And as far as I have been told, details of individual aircraft losses was entered primarily in the war diaries, these details would then be unavailable for this unit during the timespan indicated.
By far one of the most interesting threads in a long time on the board - hopefully the archives of the Northern Fleet will be correspondingly available some time in the future...
Regards,
Andreas B
