really, I think it is back and forth, as to what is known, in the long run, alot of the info was still prewar, you could and did get intel from paritson you can look at the Intel on Rockets, Recon planes had been taking pictures and spotted V-2s for a long time, but one of the top GB Rocket Expert, said the Germens couldn't build that type of rocket, and if they were trying to make one, it would look like this (what is weird, two US Col's sat in on the meeting, and knew better, but nobody at the meeting, had the clearance level needed to know what they knew, so they didn't say anything) some Danes, seen a bad test launch, found the crash site, took photo's and passed them on, and once Intell, seen they did not look like what they were looking for, remembered seeing them, then it was a mad rush, to find out where and when, and alot of back tracking of old photos were done so, to make a long story short (:) no, I was hoping to have something like this added, but don't look like it also, remember, the Allies had Photo Recon, Tac Recon, Ultra, and radio intercepts, they never really knew where the LW was at, they had ideas, and knew areas, they didn't really know, that there were 17 Bf 109G-6s at this base and 12 at that base, a lot of times, once the ground forces moved forward, they found bases that the Intell, didn't know about most sweeps, hit what they seen, when they seen something, it wasn't, hey, on the way back, we going to hit Munster AF, as the III./NJG3 is based there (which remember, there are different types of sweeps, the returning back to base and lets get lucky, or the preplanned, we going to hit this base, those were the really deadly ones, you had high cover, low cover, Flak suppessers, you had rovers looking for movement, and then you had the gunners who hit the field)
