Re: Halifax LL343 August 31, 1944

Slightly Confused,
when I read the Vorpostenboot Report they state that they were attacked
and the a/c returned. I think it is very unlikely that a Halifax on a secret mission decides to take a low level pass at a Vorpostenboot and makes a second run.
Action against shipping near the Westerschelde was undertaken by Mosquitos
that very night and one lost.
My conclusion is that the Vorpostenboot downed a Mosquito!
The Halifax then would have crashed not near the VPB but elswhere off the coast.
