Re: A "Bodenplatte" question

There is not much that I can add to the explanation of Andreas. Except that I believe the colour of the number 4 would be black too and that it most likely would be a small 4 within the <. The number of casualties among JG 11 while attacking tha Asch area was dramatic. Even today 12 pilots of JG 11 are still listed as MIA. During research for the Bodenplatte book we found some 5 to 6 graves of unknown pilots killed near Asch on 1.1.45. Unfortunately it is highly unlikely that it will ever be possible to identify these airmen.
