P.S. Burgau to Dillingen is just under 18 km.

National Archives HW 5/697:
CX/MSS/T530/14

To IA and IC from Officer Commanding Special Detachment T

Stamped 0830/24/4:

5 Storch aircraft took off at 02.15–02.30 hours.

Demolition detachments of 2 men each dropped in area Dillingen – Nördlingen – Donauwörth.

4 aicraft returned. Landing 04.05–04.30 hours. Dropping proceeded according to plan, no striking road movements recognised in low level flight. South west of Donauwörth, 1 village in flames. West of Nördlingen, artillery fire.

Defence: 3 Storch shot at by MG and/or light AA.

2 aircraft slightly damaged.

Losses: 1 Storch missing.
Regarding any possible operations by KG 51 on the 24th, Bletchley Park noted from decrypts that it was included in 7. Jagd Division orders for the 23rd but not the 24th. On the latter date:
CX/MSS/T530/64

Report signed Major Barth Kommodore, dated 24/4/

BANOV ((KG)) 51 disbanded. All personnel equipped with arms in own (few words illegible) to be subordinated to ground organisation or (smudge). Personnel without arms to be placed in Army supplementary reserve. Equipment, vehicles and secret documents (several words missing) with the unit. Act on your own responsibility.
This subsequently caused ructions in the high command and was countermanded but it seems to rule out KG 51's participation on 24 April at least.
