Luftwaffe claim for a "RECCE AIRCRAFT" on 9 August 1944?
Good afternoon,
I found this ULTRA message in XL7497 on p. 5 of DEFE 3 123: NOW KNOWN THAT ON NINTH AUGUST QUOTE SPECIAL)) DETACHMENT LECHFELD £ LECHFELD UNQUOTE OPERATED AGAINST RECCE AIRCRAFT AND CLAIMED ONE SHOT DOWN 221928Z/8/44 As I cannot find such a claim in Tony Wood's data base, I am presuming that this is a garbled account of of Joachim Weber's claim of the eighth of August. If so, my question is this: Who garbled it? The Germans or the British? best regards, Jim Last edited by Karoband; 21st March 2021 at 15:50. |
