"Oblique armament" on a KG 51 Me 262?
Good evening,
From British report BT 5797 issued on 26 2339z/2/45 citing Reference CX/MSS/T. 472/49: "(STRONG INDICATIONS GIEBELSTADT £ GIEBELSTADT )) ELEMENTS) KING FIVE ONE AFTERNOON TWENTYTHIRD REPORTED ARRIVAL FROM LECHFELD £ LECHFELD OF ONE AIRCRAFT WITH ONE FIVE DEGREES DEPRESSION OF THE OBLIQUE ARMAMENT, AND ENQUIRED WHETHER IT WAS TO GO TO FIRST OR SECOND GRUPPE" Any ideas as to what "OBLIQUE ARMAMENT" this message refers to? best regards, Jim |

Here's the text of CX/MSS/T472/49 which identifies the aircraft in question:
CX/MSS/T472/49 BT 5797Then there was this: CX/MSS/T498/52 BT 8237 |

Wow! Thank you so much, Nick.
If 110605 was "shot up by armament on 19/3 and completely destroyed" it is not the aircraft shot down on 22 March. Unfortunately this leads to exposing my ignorance and asking what was KADIK II/KG? Jim |

This was an attempt to increase the range of the MK 108, with its low muzzle velocity.
