Hi Calum, sorry for being late. You wrote: This intelligence report is the only source quoted about this particular "flight". I mean had there been any successfull search for more, we would know. There are more things missing which would be needed to make believe in a true event: 1. No exact...

Hi Snowygroach!!! First of all thank you very much!!!! Meanwhile, I had no time to visit the National Archives website. So you obviously spared me a lot of money. I send you a PM about the "beer"... From the document, I read the following: 1. There is nothing of interest about the Ju 390 but...

Thank you, Andrew. Going to take a look there. Regards, RT

Hello to all, especially contibutors from UK! I need the following thing: Intelligence Report ADI (K) No. 441/1944. For my studies, I am now used to get German documents, had they been captured by the Americans or remained in Germany. But this time, I need something originally British, and I...

So, what was wrong with the Do 217? Good question! When it appeared, the Do 217 was the best German medium bomber. It was faster than He 111 and Ju 88, had a greater range and a bigger payload. And it was the only one which used a rotating gun turret for self-defence. But it competed with the Fw...

Many of you may have read about the fruitless discussions with my friend in a couple of threads I posted. Now we stopped that. What you see here is the last part. And it is really becoming complicated, sorry for that. Please look at quotes at the ending. In my eyes, it would be a failure to...

@nuuumannn: Sorry for being late. First, I am not in a position to tell my friend what to do. Second, there is no problem finding sources which underline the He 177's real bad habits, or such which were just continued time after time, thus ignoring the proceedings that had happened, although by...

Hi all! The following is only about nuuumannn's posting #115 here, so please be patient for my answers to other contributors to come. I have to say, no personal offence against nuuumannn intended, his writing is a prime example of "selective selection", thus only supporting his personal...

Hi all! @buffnut453: "Finally, exactly what critical targets will be hit in Scotland?" The goal is to reach the North Channel and cause carnage to crucial-for-British-warfare shipping there. "Aside from anything else, the only way the Luftwaffe could generate any sizeable force would...

Hi all, thank you for so many answers! But sorry to say, for me they are too many (including some really interesting ones), that I need some time for answering. I ask you for patience. Hopefully I can draft and then post some statements over the weekend. Best regards, RT

Hi all, please cling to the basic question and tell me: how many British and American fighters would/could you send to Scotland if there is a dangerous German threat to the North? About forcing German fighters to prematurely drop their additional tanks, I expect my friends to answer the...

@tomo pauk: "Is there a problem for your friend to register here and make his points in person?" My friend's command of English language is good, but not as much as mine. On the one hand he lacks stamina, on the other hand, sometimes he thinks he is the one-and-only WWII German aircraft expert...

Thank you for so many answers, and, sorry to say, I was off for some time and did not respond. Special thanks to MikeMeech for his numbers in posting #15. Well, I complained about my friend already, who is very stubborn. Our figure is, to attack Britain in the North. The main supply route to...

Hi all, maybe you remember this thread: What if lots of B-29-like bombers with glide bombs had attacked very well protected convoys? and the endless discussion with my friend, whom some of you don't believe he exists. He does, be sure. The next thesis he utters is this (always remember there...

Thank you Eagledad. Sorry for being late. Regards, RT
