Re: Condor loss February 5, 1941

I took the crew names spellings as those presented on the http://www.volksbund.de/
Burial listings in Glencree German War Cemtery here in Ireland.

Nachname:Gömmer Vorname:Paul Dienstgrad:Oberleutnant Geburtsdatum:13.01.1909 Geburtsort:Malstatt-Burbach Todes-/Vermisstendatum:05.02.1941 Todes-/Vermisstenort:Mt. Gabriel

As regards the ship name, as I say on my website, and as copied onto the other one, some sources say the name was 'Major C'. This has been suggested to be an error for the SS Majorca, however that vessel also seems to not be the correct one. Whether this aircraft was damaged by gun fire is still open for comfirmation I think. Or at least the identity of the vessel.

The question of the vessel has been asked a few times online:

The convoy SC20 was attacked on this date:

I cannot recall if I know where the reference to Major C comes from.
