Re: Using Ultra to research the Luftwaffe
Rod - Have you had an opportunity yet to work with any of the 47 periodic wartime reports issued by Air Ministry/A.I. 4 Signals Intelligence? By these I mean those that carried the catchy titles "Canterbury", "Pearl/ZIP", "Pearl/ZIP/BMP", "CIRO", "Beta Krass", "Gamma Krass", "BATS", "OWL/ROBOT", "Orchestra", etc., etc. Nearly half of the 47 are devoted to Luftwaffe night fighter operations and might aid your analysis since the signals intelligence used came from other than Enigma/ULTRA. I do not know exactly what you are working on, so this is just a thought. From my recollection of the handful of these I saw, they plot and report each and every Lw. night fighter that took off and landed and what they were doing while aloft. Very comprehensive from late 1943 to the end of the war.
