I don't think so.

24 Ost = Rumania-Bulgaria-Greece, where Grosstrapez "41" situated somewhere in eastern Greece.

More so, according to Michael Holm's site they based at Lublin at that time.

Al in all "25Ost" looks much more reasonable. Thus coordinates are 24o40', 50o30'/24o50',50o35' - somewhere west of Lvov.

Hi Vlad !

Here you go ....

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.c...multimap.y=197

You can use the +/- zoom function upper left corner or just click
somewhere aside (but not INTO) the red circle.

This Excel sheet has Ohlen's loss in line number 1932.
http://www.jg54greenhearts.com/JG54Loss.zip

And in the next 11./JG54 loss in line number 1933
you find Pl. Qu. 4153 with position "östl.Sokol" which
seems to confirm "25 Ost" as the correct one.

Maybe for solving such mysteries you would like
to use this fantastic tool LUMA done by a fantastic person
(actually ME, ha ha, Извини те ...)

Anyway it's FREE ! Take it ...

bye,
