Attack on Dieppe 25/5/40

Anybody know which Luftwaffe bomber unit was responcible for the devastating air raid on Dieppe on 21th May 1940? As many as 15 vessels (including two hospital vessels) were sunk in the harbour and the fairway was blocked by magnetic mines.

Any information gratefully received.

Regards,

Steve
