All the best, Marcel
»Straßenjagd« was also carried out by the Nachtschlachtgruppen. I translated it as "road hunting" because I couldn't think of an RAF equivalent. Maybe something like "truck hunting" would fit?

As for »Erkennungssignale«, RAF Operations Record Books talk about "Resins" which I assume is short for "recognition signals", so the equivalent of ES would be Resins.
