The Air Operations Watch report that I referred to (which can’t be downloaded) includes everything the Allies learned from the day’s German radio traffic and deciphered signals, plus information from Allied aircraft and German prisoners. Again they might miss something.
Each source may include things that the other does not.
A good book on German guided bomb operations is Martin J. Bollinger’s ‘Warriors and Wizards’ (Naval Institute Press, 2010)
