Re: Activities Ju 88s (KG 30?) Rotterdam 14-05-1940

Gentleman,

Thanks for your replies. I have asked this question after I read a posting on a Dutch forum see: http://www.grebbeberg.nl/index.php?p...group=7&view=3 ( unfortunately Dutch only). In this posting there is mention of a report written by Generalleutnant a.D. Lackner, who was commander of KG.54. In the report, which was written in 1952, there is this statement:

"Ein oder zwei Stuka-Gruppen - genaueres weiss ich hierüber nicht - erhielten ausserdem den Befehl, gleichzeitig besondere Punktziele in der Stadt, wei Nachrichtenzentralen, Kraftversorgung und Änliches anzugreifen."

I am not an expert on the German language but in short is say that 1 or 2 gruppe of divebombers were active to attack some special targets like broadcast stations , powerplants etc.

As far as I know the H 111 wasn't suitable to use for dive bombing, so, if the general writes the truth which unit could be involved in such attacks?

Best regards,

Mathieu.
