I think you will find the Nav tool measures in degrees TRUE. The aircraft compass systems are obviously Magnetic. Variation in 1940 in this part of the world was around 10 degrees West.

So To obtain a Mag bearing from true just add 10 degrees to the True bearing. Try that see if that resolves the problem.
