Hi,

I'm going through some Ultra files and in 871A/9 the StG 2 reported on the 20.4. to Fl.Kps.VIII "losses from crews of III./StG 2 - Willi Opel, Uffz.) Hermann Zelen Fw. and 2 others."
Then, in: 872/50: "Casualty report made by III./StG 2 to Air Ministry Dept.L.P. on 19.4. contained mention of loss of 4 persons (2 Fw and 2 Uffz) belonging to flying personnel."
Could this be connected with the "Stringbag" story?

Boris
