MvR'sCombat reports.
Hi JFM:
I distrust the reports for several reasons,
1. They did not match the format of known original MvR Combat Reports in "Jagd in Flandern Himmel" or the Floyd Gibbons translations in the Red Knight of Germany.
2. These translations were made by an American by the date style he used, i.e., 3/18/18 instead of the European/German style of 18.3.18.
3. A true transltation would have followed the German Combat Report Format without changes, or omissions.
4. There is no history, the name of the translator is not known. A true translation, the name of the translator and the date of the translations would have been attached to the set. There is no attribution.
5. How did they get into the Public Records Office and when? Who contributed these English translations to PRO?
6. If these are "true" translations,where are the original MvR combat Reports
that the translations were made from? I have no knowledge of any in existance.
7. There are more questions than answers!
8. I think they are fake, however I can't prove it. It does make one think about their validity. If they were genuine, we would know all these answers.
Blue skies JFM,
Dan-San
