You know, the RLM had to keep releasing that very same memo because the reports kept coming in referring to the Bfs (109 and 110) as Mes. At one point they threatened to no longer accept reports that used an inappropriate Me designation. It all came to naught, as you will probably experience, lol. I've seen a report on the 110 (about night fighting mods I think) that was published in a book where the author carefully explained that the repeated use of Me in the report was in error (the report actually kept bouncing back and forth between Bf and Me), maybe, but how do you instruct a WW2 German to be historically correct - haha.

PS I remember seeing a post war video interview with Willi where he constantly referred to his little baby as the Me109 ... now why would he do that - lol.
