A BIG TY to JG11

[Sled]

Just wanted to thank you guys for a fine example of escorts keeping the fighters busy.

USMC/71sqn was able to attack 32 and almost flatten it before the defenders wised up. that was due in large part, to you guys keeping them busy and away from us, as we snuck in.

You got your self one hell of a squadron (JG 11).  I would fly with them boys anytime.

Thank you. It was our pleasure Sled.  Those high 51's gave us a run for the money, and we lost a few A/C damaged, but prevailed in the end.  As always, it was a team effort by all involved.  There was a collective good feeling among the boys, seeing the 110's over target unmolested.

Thank you Oak. 

I would like to shout out a special thanks to TheBug, who had Operational Kommand of the gruppe, allowing this ole man a chance to just sit back and fight it out.  He is tactically sound, experienced, and a fine leader.  I could not ask for more dedication, than exhibited by the guys in the Sonderstaffel.

Let's do it again sometime.

I bet the ju-88s take had to hit 45 would have liked to have you. Poor saps never even got bombs off.

<S> Sled and USMC/71 Sqn.  Nice job smashing that base!
