Greetings from rainy Brandenburg,

Good point. I checked Barbas (would rather do that than consult John "plagiarism" Weal any day...) and it states what you said about the victory being disallowed and credited to the Flak unit. It might still be worth annotating in your lists because after all, what official confirmation would Dickfeld's claim have received in comparison?
