Re: Me 110 losses on 7 September 1940 - circumstances

Hi
Well, actually I am after the narratives describing circumnstances of loss. I can say, that those of 1943-44 period were extremely useful and interesting.

Yes, I am aware of transcripts of recorded talks, there was a book published about the operation just few years ago. Therefore I am even more surprised that the K Reports are not released. I would understand 100 years since birth rule, but then it should be explicitly said.
Political leanings might be more an embarassment for the HM government or FRG government rather than persons involved. As noted, many of the airmen became prominent figures in the West Germany, and for the past decades they were friends, allies in NATO. Soviet propaganda often portrayed FRG as a bunch of Nazis, and well, getting through SD & Gestapo personal files, it indeed looks so. Quite recently there was such a pressure on the US government, that several secret files form various agencies were released. I can imagine thatthe pattern could be repeated in regard of K Reports.
