Re: Saint Exupéry this evening on ZDF
"Les Américains auraient cette communication radio."
= (if my French is right) "The Americans would have had this radio communication." That's a conditional statement, he doesn't say they did have it. He assumes they did.

Re: Saint Exupéry this evening on ZDF
yes basically - conditional tense is used for a reported action for which there is no confirmation (always used in news bulletins)
"The Americans apparently had/heard/intercepted this transmission.."
