CX/JQ/251, para. 12: It was learned on 25/8 that one Mansfeld urgently required a breathing mask of the old type for himself, as the new type of mask did not fit. He asked for a mask of every size to be sent for him to try on. The matter was urgent, as he could not fly until he had got the mask.
(NB — Oblt. Mansfeld is connected with KGr. 100) As for Mahlke …
CX/JQ/100, para. 33: Hauptmann Mahlke of Stuka Group 186 was reported on 30/6 to have been selected for command of a Stuka Group. And Fliegerkorps VIII's secret move …
CX/JQ/99, para. 35: Learnt at noon on 30/6 that Fliegerkorps VIII had ordered Stab z.b.V. 16 to move some unspecified units immediately. There is to be absolute W/T silence. HQ to remain at Pont until morning of 1/7.
CX/JQ/100, para. 16: The signals section of Stuka 77 was changing position after noon on 30/6/1200.
CX/JQ/115, para. 14: There is some reason to believe that the HQ of Fliegerkorps VIII is now at Caen.
