Re: Post 8th May 45 Shoot downs by Luftwaffe
Just happened to see Jiris answer today - thanks a lot for that concluding information! So in the end they were Soviet fighters attacking the American planes...

The Allied Control Commission at the OKW notifies right now:
On the 9, 10 and 11.5, 1945, in the Dresden/Prag area, after signing the capitulation,unarmed Allied reconnaissance a/c were attacked by German fighters. Loss of personal and material resulted. Should this happen again, harsh measures will be taken.
To this OKW orders:
OKL will ensure with all means that any German a/c taking off without allied permission is not permitted.”
Any ideas what really happened? Can we assume that "German fighters" actually were Soviet fighters...?
Cheers
