Marcel, your understanding is correct. The early morning report for 30 April report summarised known events up to that time, so those that occurred during the previous night. It is less obvious why the evening report for 30 April still includes this information, but it could be they simply used the morning report as a basis, so the information was simply carried over.

Thanks a lot for the replies, I was not exepting so much from both German and Soviet side.

None of the above shows a devastating raid on Anklam, so I guess we can just consider it as another Wikipedia bogus entry.
