Re: Luftwaffe 'Vapour trail marking'?
First of all, the marking for Nottingham this night was by III/KG 26 between 2347 and 0012 hrs; KGr 100 were not involved. However, II/KG 27 was the first unit over the city between 2330-0015 hrs. As an aviator, such marking would be almost invisble in the dark by aircraft at similar altitudes, imprecise due to wind/flames/other aircraft/explosions/flak etc etc etc. Furthermore, vapour trails are subject to the meteorological conditions prevailing at the time allowing for such trails....... Another myth?
