Gentlemen: I have not had a chance to answer much of this but can say that II/KG 51 were initially based at Vitry and did move around but according to a logbook copy I have, operated from Eindhoven for much of their ops in Apr 44. Would agree that 25 Apr 44 kill was the 76 Sqn ac; the other one was probable the 626 sqn loss. As to the Albermarle loss on 23 Apr, it matches well with Uffz walter Bruegel's claim of a Halifax-it would appear that he was out on a second sortie that night. Finally, I wrote last year to Puttfarken's widow but I am afraid no reply/wish to reply
