Re: Ghostbombers updates

Today's updates to my website are:
  • Kriegstagebuch of Stab JG 77: addition of two ULTRA messages about the unit on 2 and 3 December 1943.
  • Invasion Watch: quote from a pilot of 3./NAG 14 about the problems caused by installing cameras in the Bf 109.
  • Kommando Götz: information about a sortie flown on 31 March 1945.
  • Geschwader Bongart: action at Dun-le-Poëllier on 11 June, a newspaper quote for 24 July and an account of a Resistance ambush on 30 July 1944 (this last item entirely thanks to Greg Skaggs).
  • Kommando Koch: quote from a prisoner about jamming of radars during raids on Malta; Italian report of German aircraft using radar to locate a submarine.
  • Kommando Kunkel: several small additions.
  • Kettenhund radar jammer: additional quote from a British report on the equipment.
  • Kommando Olga: addition about Ltn. Ernst Suchy (thanks to the latest updating of deZeng and Stankey's invaluable work on Luftwaffe officers' career summaries).
  • 1.(F)/100: additions to the appendix on pilots and aircraft.

Re: Ghostbombers updates

Hi Nick.

Great work.
Hptm. Hermann Holert is the correct spelling, not Hollert.

Hi Laurent,

I'm currently working on the RAF's experiences of German ground and airborne jamming over the Mediterranean: the Kdo. Koch article will get a lot bigger eventually.
