Re: Einzelmeldung Nr 3 vom 14.8.1940 (Luftflotte 3)

That’s a useful piece on balloons. I’d not read that, I have to say. I think you’re right about the ‘Taschen besonderer Art’. In this context I think special parachute ‘packs’ is the best rendition. I guess local records offices will confirm leaflet finds.
On the topic of balloons, we can safely dump hot air as the balloons were closed envelopes. So, gas. Some refs in the docdroid leaflet to finds of balloons in East Anglia in October 1940. That’s local record office police files work unless there’s a collared file in TNA.
Stay well folks. Bout No 2 on the way.
