Re: Maikop commandos raid 24.Oct.42

According to Korück 550 preliminary report, some buildings are damaged, "details unknown yet", 2 a/c destroyed. Can't find the final report. Maybe in the AOK17 papers.

According to Soviet estimation based on the morning photorecce, 13 a/c were destroyed and 10 damaged, and a fuel storage was destroyed too. Overclaim.
According to 27.Recce Esc. (27.ORAE VVS ChF), snapshot was too unsharp for the analysis.

This is a scheme of the airfield but the picture is strange a bit. The left half seems authentic but the right half is the modern reconstruction certainly.
