Re: Channel Dash

Hello Adam,

I am far from an expert on the subject Channel Dash, but I remember to have read about it in Adolf Gallands wellknown 'The first and the last'. I know also from my Nachtjagd research, that nighfighters (mainly II./NJG 1 and I./NJG 1) were involved for 'Begleitschutz' along the Belgian, Dutch, northwest German and Danish coastline during the dark hours between day and night.

However, I have hardly any recollections about naval air units, but that might origin from my obsession with nightfighting. Which units were you thinking of and were this fit for such protective operations?

All the best, Marcel / Venlo
