Thanks Allan
Hope you don't find me a pain in the
Now we are on the same track again and of course my possibillities to say anything else stops right here. I tried to locate Damm however, and the only thing I could come up with was a tiny place just east of Rhine which now seems situated in a national reserve of some sort. I don't think it could be the well known place Jüterbog-Damm of pre-war fame, since the only Jüterbog I could find was much further to the east.
My own thinking also goes something like this. With the German collapse very close, I believe everyone in the upper echelons felt that it was no use trying to make anything out of this "wretched-Damm-place" (almost wrote Damn place...
), so when all these negative reports came in they decided just to move on. The danger of attacks on congested airfields must have been slimmer with every new day.
Would be interesting if you can come up with anything, but I believe all ground parties simply abandoned whatever they were doing and moved on to their next object.
Cheers
