Dear all,

Glad to note that the Heeresgruppe Mitte files are back online. I have gone through much of the material but failed to find any Daily Reports for October 1943 and further on -I had hoped these would be also put online by the excellent people at TsAMO as these records will contain Luftflotte 6 reports on the employment-results-losses of the Nachtjäger in the Central sector of the Eastern Front during the final three months of 1943 and for 1944. Could anyone advise me if these files are available at all at TsAMO, and if so, when these will be put online?

Cheers and thanks for any news on this matter, which will be crucially important for my further research on the Nachtjagd on the Eastern Front for one of the coming volumes in the Nachtjagd Combat Archive series.

Junker,

Many thanks for the heads-up on this.

If anyone downloaded the torrent for this a while ago there are several Kriegsmarine files on the TSAMO pages that are not included in the torrent e.g. Akte 1, 2, 4,5, 8, 10,....98, 100 and 101 etc.

A nice gem in the Kriegsmarine dossier among others, a victory claim submitted by a BV 138 pilot from 3./SAGr.125 against a VVS DB-3 over the Black Sea.

During a torpedo attack on a convoy on 15.11.43 1 Il-4 (Kap. Panin & crew; 3 KIA) of 5 GMTAP ChF was s/d reportedly by flak of the rumanian gunboat Dumitrescu at 44.48N-30.52E.
6 Il-4 (Lobanov, Presich, Fedorov, Minakov, Panin, Sinitsin) attacked a convoy cosisting of 2 transports (DANUBIUS, KT-25), 2 gunboats (STIKHI, DUMITRESCU), 1 A/S trawler (UJ 115), 2 auxiliary subchasers (KFK 11 & KFK 12) 10 miles SE Cape Burnas with 6 aerial torpedoes at 14.35h and claimed 1 transport of 3,000t sunk for 1 Il-4 lost. In fact no axis vessel was lost or damaged.

Cheers

Hello Michael,

According to KTB Deutschen Marinekommandos Konstantza, should be find out, whether the plane shot down by Dumitrescu and by BV138 is the same aircraft [it was the same Il-4 indeed]

Best regards,

I don't think anyone has posted this little gem so far:

Goebbels personal letter to Hans-Ulrich Rudel's concering the latters' request to return to frontline action.

[Andrey Kuznetsov]

Thank you!

The document was found out on the battlefield not later than 19.Apr.45 in the sector of 1.Byelorussian Front.
I wonder where it exactly was.
By the way, the author isn't Goebbels but A.Fuhr.

Best regards,
Andrey
