eBAy: Captured german planes

[RodM]

Hi Marc,

According to the available daily II./NJG4 strength & serviceability returns in ULTRA, Ju88G-6 W.Nr. 620643 was with II./NJG4 on 7 March 1945 (Verbandskennzeichen unknown), so it was taken on unit strength before that date. Ju88G-1 W.Nr. 710547 is only mentioned once in the returns for January - March 1945.

It was disingenuous for me to say 710547 went off unit strength - possibly only the Verbandskennzeichen changed. II./NJG4 still had a few G-1s on strength up to the date of the last available strength & serviceability return on 22 March 1945.

Cheers

Rod
