Hans Krause-zwei Halifaxes shot down

At the risk of getting back to the original topic (well, almost) is this "Cap Ancona" the Ancona on the Adriatic Coast of Italy?

If so, how did a 6./NJG 101 aircraft come to be there in November 1944? It's a long way from Parndorf, Austria (which is where Gebhard Aders' "History of the German Night Fighter Force" puts II./NJG 101 in November of '44): about 500 km in a straight line.

Also, this wasn't a period with much German activity over the Adriatic by night and what there was was meticulously logged by MAAF Signals Intelligence: usually recon flights by 4. and 6.(F)/122 with the occasional agent dropping mission by 4./KG 200.

None of this makes the presence of a German night fighter off Ancona impossible but it would be highly unusual, if not unique.
