Indeed Chris
All in your book. Perhaps the Intelligence Summary Staff was too focused on the evacuation of France
and mixed things up a bit?

Chris and Stig,

Many thanks for your replies.

The information in the Intelligence Summary was perhaps mixed up a bit, like Stig mentioned, or perhaps the staff who made the reports was still investigating the report mentioned in summary nr.96 :

It should be noted that German parachute troops wear British or Allied uniforms, or are dressed as priests, postmen, policemen or disguised as women.

Best regards

Luc
