Re: This time KG51 3.MAI 1941

Hi guy´s.

It has been my experiance that possibly some losses stated in the SALU reports may have not occurred in reality. These reports were based on radio intercepts and sometimes (especially under emergencies) aircraft radio operators may have inadvertandly transmitted wrong codes (or the British intercepted them wrongly). I too only find two I/KG 51 losses on that date, but again the third loss may have been aircraft that eventually reached shore/base (and recovered under 10% damaged).
