I watched that demonstration of "Shrage Musik" not Nacht as I have been wrongly calling it. Getting my Heinkels and Handels mixed up. I think that it is another name for "Jazz". I must admit it gave me quite a shocked feeling at what I escaped but I think that it bears out my reliance on constant corkscrewing regardless of discomfort and even pain. It also must have helped the "Scarecrow" story as no combat would be witnessed. What the German says about night visibility is quite true. Unless there was a moon (Peenemunde !) then you were lucky if you saw anything beyond the wingtips. Proof was when there were six hundred bombers concentrated in twenty minutes over Dusseldorf on Nov.3rd.1943 I never saw another aircraft until the hundreds of searchlights over the target illuminated the sky and then I never saw another one the whole way back.
