Re: 10 August 1944 and 78th FG USAAF
Hello Bruggy and Nick,
Thanks for your quick responses, most appreciated! When I saw the ULTRA snippet, Rouvers did ring a bell: there is a reasonable chance that actually Rouvres-en-Woëvre (NE of Verdun) is meant.
For this Feldflugplatz I have a damaged He219 ! On several occasions, Heinkel documents report that this particular He219 was to be sent (or sent) to Cheb/Eger, but the different dates of these reports strongly suggests, that either this move might not have been effectuated. Can't remember either that Rouvres was described in the Crashed Enemy Aircraft Reports of the Techn.Air Intel. teams...
It's a thin thread between a damaged He219 in Rouvres and 10 August 1944 and I am also worried that the location given by Bruggy is not the same as suggesed by the ULTRA message. To put it in other words: if the 83rd FS never came along Rouvres, the footage does not show strafings of Rouvres Feldflugplatz...
All the best, Marcel
