Leo, I would have asked you for one more favor.

Based on ww2.dk, Aufklärungsstaffel 4.(F)/Nacht in December 1944 still had Do 217 types E-4 and K-1. Perhaps February 25th one of these machines was shot down?

It is no coincidence that on February 25 the Soviet units shot down in the area of Do 217. In the following days it did not happen. Yet only 25.02 over the airport Szprotawa recorded a flight one Do 217.
