Hi Troy and Mitch,

It will probably be a lot easier (and cheaper) to get the information from The US National Archives (rather than through the BA/MA - Freiburg), as they have copies of most of the Flak "Abschüss" reports on microfilm.

The reports can be found under T321, roll 60 to 66. Each roll costs about 30$ and contains over a 1000 Flak
"Abschüss" reports.

Hi Michael--

I just returned from the National Archives and while there I researched Record Group 242, T-1033 collection. These
were original Flak "Abschüss" reports sometimes 6 or more pages long with beautiful maps and diagrams.
Unfortunately the day that I was searching for was missing. Would it not be safe to assume that if they do not
have a paper original, then they would not have it on microfilm?

Also, since my search is so narrow might it not be more cost effective to pay for some one to look for the
document than to buy 6 reels of microfilm. I am not opposed to the microfilm, I have a good collection already, I
would just like to go about this search in the most efficient way possible.

Thanks

Troy
