Re: Luftwaffe raids od SW Wales 4-6.7.42

Hi Pavel,

I have some Fighter Command reports from 1942 which includes summaries of enemy action as follows:-

1/2nd July. About 35 e/a flew over the West Country, dropping HE and IB in coastal areas of Dorset, Devon, Somerset, and Glamorgan. Minelaying in the Bristol Channel is a possibilty.

3/4th July. A few e/a operated off and over the East Coast and some bombs were dropped near Yarmouth, one of which damaged the municipal refuse destructer.

5/6th July. A few e/a operated over the Bristol Channel, probaly minelaying. A few bombs were dropped near Milford Haven and Tenby.

I hope that is of some help to you. I have relatives near Milford Haven, and there are some locally published books on the bombing in the area. Next time I am down there I will see if there in anything for the 3/4th July although it looks unlikely from the reports I have,

Regards

Brian Bines
