Re: Correct translation of German Nachtjagd terms

That's what I would say, too.

The term is in the German language very specific.

On my opinion, the term "Straßenjagd (road pursuit)" is not comparable to "armed recce", since an "armed recce" has an open end, whilst a "Straßenjagd" is targeting (mostly well known) roads and its traffic.

On the other hand, I'd never heard a term like "bewaffnete Aufklärung" by the Luftwaffe in WW 2.

Best wishes !
