Re: German Reports of Downed Allied Fighters - Translation
Dear Friend:
What you are looking at looks to be a copy of the German J Report #1420. This was for Gerald J Dix of HqSq/355FG for 8 June 1944. He became a POW and was flying P-51B, 43-7164 that was coded YF-D. His USAAF MACR was #5750. Crash site of the J report was listed as "Libourne-nr/ 6km S Coutres". the German Fighter grid location was RU 35/14 WS. I can only guess that this was a standardized form and that the teletype strips were glue to the Form. I have never seen this type of Form though it looks similar to the Ja type Forms that were used for recording personnel effects that were taken off of POWs at the time of capture. The Archives at College Park, MD has an incomplete collection of the Ja Reports. Sorry that I couldn't help with the translation but I do not speak/read German. Hope that this helps a bit. Ted51
