Dear ArtieBob,

thank you!

This is a report about destruction of Armawir airbase:

The sentence «… sowie durch Bomben- und Bruchbeschädigte Flugzeuge ausserden rot angehakten 5 Stück Ju88 wurden durch Sprengung und Feuer zerstört» (page 2, paragraph 4) is unclear. At first I have read «ausserden» as «ausserdem». But maybe it should be «ausser den», so «rot angehakten» Ju88s weren’t destroyed but flew away or abandoned without destruction?

This is a list of the planes flew away from Armawir:

The date typed as 21.Jan.43. But Hptm Lassen had referred to this list (page 2, next-to-last paragraph) during description of 22.Jan.43 events, not 21.Jan. And Ju88s are absent in the list.

Maybe German forum participants can help with resolving?

Best regards,
Andrey
