Thank you, Juha. Still, it appears things were confused (at least) for a number of days. I hesitate to speculate but just as local German newspapers were scanned by Allied agents to get a more accurate idea of German war dead, I wonder if German agents in the U.S. were able to communicate the movements of large numbers of men and equipment prior to D-Day by checking local sources. I now have a better appreciation of the difficulty of German aircraft flying over British territory at the time.
