Japanese Imperial GHQ Naval Order No.18. This orders Admiral Yamamoto, C-in-C of the Japanese Combined Fleet to draw up plans for Operation 'Mi', the capture of Midway and the Aleutian Island, a plan that had originally been suggested by Admiral Yamamoto during March. The Japanese make landings on Panay Island. The US aircraft carrier Lexington, sets sail from Pearl Harbor, with orders to link up with the Yorktown in the Tonga Islands and then head, under the command of Admiral Fletcher to the Coral Sea.

According to my sources, it was 326th Night Bomber Division.
The last missions over Berlin have been flown on May 2nd, 1945

http://www.allaces.ru/cgi-bin/s2.cgi/sssr/struct/d/bad326.dat - in Russian


I am just wondering, 5.56X45mm, how you going to prove to me that I am wrong?:-)
No doubt, your source should be in English or Spanish, so it can't be original(which has to be in Russian). I know, I have an unfair advantage here:-)

Not if you use babelfish.
 
Yes, if you have a text, you can translate it.
But how you are going to search? Sure, it is possible, but not as easy as for a native speaker..
 
I have a number of books that list the last unit to bomb Berlin.

You are correct, it is contested between the Soviet 326th Night Bomber Division and the 588th Night Bomber Regiment.
 
Am I to be the next then?

If yes, I have an easy question:
When and where the "Katjusha" rockets have been used in battle?
