Sabotage in Nikolayev, March 1942

[Andreas Brekken]

Hello, you guys??

I am half around the globe and a bit jet lagged, and thought I had posted the following yesterday - the network connection on my hotel is a bit questionable so it never made it to the discussion group obviously:

The losses of Flugber. Lfl. 4 for 07.03.1942 was reported in the loss record of 08.03.1942. So - it would be quite difficult for the GenQu6Abt to have an erroneous report date for a loss occurring on the 10th for these, unless they were psychic. Some people tend to believe that there were quite a few psychic nazi zombies - but those guys usually make video games.

So - the only explanation I can find for these losses being erroneously reported and really happened on one day would be that the partisans themselves remember the date incorrectly - and that the action occurred on the 7th, and thus the losses reported for the 10th was really losses from the 7th.

On the other hand - it could just have been the fact that they hit the airfield twice - and summed the success and remembered this as a hugely successful action on the 10th.

Regards,
Andreas B
