Re: OKL unit markings order; Me 262 codes; etc.
Nick,
Also in your improvements of page 352 in the note you are mentioning:" Note: this corresponds with the claim by Ofw. Petersen of 2./KG 51 of a B-24 shot down between Weert and Venlo at 09.25 hours."
I think Petersen has made a mistake. In this part of the Netherlands only the Lancaster III PB629 of 582 Sqn. was shot down by an enemy a/c. S/L F.G.Grillage was killed and buried at Venray War Cemetery.
Time and crashplace of the plane is not known yet.
The plane took part in a daylight RAF opeartion against Heimbach, Germany.
This was the only 4-mot. that was lost over the Netherlands at December 3rd, 1944.
The 8th US A.A.F was not flyng that day, besides 7 B-24s flying RCM.
They have had no losses.
Jaap
