Re: Airfield Strafing Victims

Hi Don,

regarding:

Hopsten -------------- 21 Mar 45


The relevant Reich Luftlagemeldung for 21 March 1945 doesn't record any strafing attack, only a bombing attack -

Hopsten: 09.30 Uhr 700 Sprb. Schwere Rollfeldschaeden. Werft und Startbahn zerstoert. 2 Me 262 und 3 Bf 109 zerstoert. 20 Gefallene, 20 Verwundete.

An amendment later in the day records -

Hopsten: Startbahn 1 unbrauchbar. Startbahn 2 zur Zeit unbrauchbar. Startbahn 3 zerstoert. Bisher 27 Gefallene, 15 Verwundete.

Regards

Rod
