Luftwaffe claim for a "RECCE AIRCRAFT" on 9 August 1944?
Good afternoon,
I found this ULTRA message in XL7497 on p. 5 of DEFE 3 123:
NOW KNOWN THAT ON NINTH AUGUST QUOTE SPECIAL)) DETACHMENT LECHFELD £ LECHFELD UNQUOTE OPERATED AGAINST RECCE AIRCRAFT AND CLAIMED ONE SHOT DOWN
221928Z/8/44
As I cannot find such a claim in Tony Wood's data base, I am presuming that this is a garbled account of of Joachim Weber's claim of the eighth of August. If so, my question is this: Who garbled it? The Germans or the British?
best regards,
Jim
