KU report -Needle in a haystack

[RodM]

Hi Captain_M,

the index to KU reports in RG 92 at NARA shows no such KU reports for an aircraft crashing near Hanau (remembering that this American index does not include KE reports still held by the British MoD).

The few entries in the index for 6 January 1945 are:
