Hello/Bonjour,

Several losses (below) connected with Nachtjagdgeschwader 5 (NJG 5) during spring of 1943 raises questions to me. Do you know why we have these losses so far in the West? I wondered if some planes of the fourth Gruppe (perhaps simply a Staffel?) had not been sent there a short time for training purpose. What your thoughts are about that?

Best regards,
Frederic
