Re: Correct translation of German Nachtjagd terms
Hello
Befristete Krähe is the opposite of 'endgültig Krähe' (which meant 'readyness cancelled'): for the next 1-2-3 hours the state of readiness is halted.
Strassenjagd: this refers to the harassment attacks on allied street convoys behind the allied/german frontline by Ju88's and Bf110's of the NJG's: several NJG losses in the southeast part of Holland were nightfighters on such missions, see for instance several A.D.I.K. reports in november/december 1944.
All the best, Marcel
