Martin, I am still a little confused I guess.....let's take an example of using something like February 23, 1945 over Pforzheim. Would 8th group and another group possibly lead the rest of the RAF bomber formation ? and these pathfinders would be positioned how... ? above and forward or below and forward of the main stream ?...... approximately how high or low in feet if known... ?

Noticed a little segement via a vet on the web-site mentioning the shooting down of a 262 near Pforzheim which is in the Bayern. This is incorrect as the Me 262's of 10./NJG 11 were based at Burg and were repsonsible for defending the Berlin proper from Mosquito bombers and the lesser threat to them, the Mossie intruder. In reality the only NJG unit to face RAF bombers in the southern portion of Germany this night was NJG 6 which claimed 13 RAF a/c.
