Not your finest hour, Franek. The community was silent because the thread had dropped off the first couple of pages (you were four days late in joining the party.)

Four days was not too much on the old forum. Anyway, if it was so obvious mistake, why CJE asked for year? It is good, that this was cleared, anyway.

We know you like stirring the pot, but Caldwell, Frappe and others have thoroughly documented Priller and Wodarczyk's 8AM sortie on D-Day. It undermines your credibility when you readily dismiss the established research in pursuit of mindless speculation.

As Neil noted above, the mission is not documented in any means. It is a fact, Zebrowski claimed in 1970s that he was the first man over the beaches. There was a lengthy discussion in Jaegerblatt or similar Luftwaffe veterans journal IIRC.

That he missed the target and got lost. Strange for a quite experienced pilot to say the least.
