Mark,

I have for example a damage report from the same archives on the Seeflugstation Flandern I at Zeebrugge which was according to British reports heavily damaged. In reality the damage to the seaplane base was as good as not existing !

It is a fact indeed, that it is not so that one can rely entirely on the graves in Flanders, as there are many casulaties on German side who have been repatriated, however even if we consider that half of them rest in German soil, even then the number of casulaties is very very low !

It is even a general misunderstanding that all German high ranking officers were repatriated. There are many officers, even generals, burried on the German military cemetaries over here.

Do you have any idea on the RM number in which you saw the report ? I'll pay them a visit again next year, this year, in fact next week I'm at the Kriegsarchiv (for the Kagohl 6 and Bogohl 8 units and some Kriegstammrollen of units active in the air above West-Flanders) at Munich and the Siemens archive (for the Fernlenkboote and the torpedo glider, which both were experiments by the navy).

Best from Johan
