Wilde Sau with twin engined fighters.

[George Hopp]

Hi George,
Since you do not seem to too happy about accepting my argument, maybe you listen to the grand old man of night fighter research (Herr Gebhard Aders), when he responded in a PM to my statement above:

I aplogize for not responding sooner but I have been out of town. I'm not quite certain what argument of yours I have not accepted. I agreed that the terminology used by headquarters was incorrect. And, I agreed that, as noted in the introduction to the diary of I JK for the last half of Sept. 43, that the reason for so few Tame Sow sorties was the lack of SN2 equipped fighters. And, I went on to show that even by Febr. 1944, SN 2 equipped fighters comprised less that 1/2 of the operational night fighter forces that were used in those operations. What else was there?

It's nice that you are adding a sub-section of your site to this subject. Unfortunately, my old eyes are having problems in reading the yellow-on-black of your site, and since printing it out doesn't work, I have had to restrict my reading of what appears to be an excellent site.
