I think it might be
THE question..
It's your area so I'm hoping you'll (Kurfurst) dig something up. I know practically nothing about Rechlin or what they did.
Also it would be nice to try and find out what date W Molders uttered his famous 'miserable fighting machine' comments. I've seen it being quoted in as July 40, which would fit into the 10th August for the paperwork..
This is interesting because the further back the date goes the chances of it being 100 octane decrease.
