On the night of the 3rd/4th September 1943, 316 Lancasters and 4 Mosquitos were despatched to Berlin. Because of the high casualty rates among Halifaxes and Stirlings in recent Berlin raids the heavy force was composed only of Lancasters. 22 of them were lost. I am looking into the loss of 1 of the ...

Hi Piet,

I understand what it must be like at the bundearchiv as it can be like that at the National Archives at Kew, especially for certain British units in WWI.

I still get confused over how all this fits into a German Division, give me a British one and I can talk for hours! :D I've got a lot of references to where LXXIV were in Normandy, but does this mean that Korps-Nachrichten-Abteilung 474 were part of some sort of HQ unit? ...

I've been looking at various sites detailing LXXIV and wondered if someone could put me out of my misery and tell m...

It's not my translation, it came from the lady who emailed me, so I can't comment on that although I will ask her about as it would be good to locate him as well., if we can.

Steve

Piet,

That certainly does help!

Many thanks for your help. Is there any unit history that I can use as a reference for further research?

Steve
