G'Day Richard,

This comes from an ULTRA DEFE 3 intercept:

15.6.43: Ju 88A-4 (4D+MS) shot down by AA-fire over Bone harbor -Staka of 8.Staffel, Hptm. Karl Donner, + 2 KIA, 1 P/W (LRs).
19/20.6.43: attacked an Allied convoy with 11 Ju 88s, and claimed 24 bombs hit the target; however, what exactly was hit is not known (ULTRA ML4657).
29/30.6.43: 2 7.Staffel Ju 88A-4s (4D+DR,ER) FTR from an evening raid on Bone harbor - Staka Hptm. Karl-Heinz Sommern + 3 MIA (LRs).

The key word in that entry for 19/20 June is "claimed". I think it may be probable that the Gruppe attacked a convoy as stated, but the claimed hits are just that, claims. As for the convoy, on and around that date the Mediterranean was choked with convoys bringing in troops and supplies for the forthcoming attack on Sicily and the Italian mainland, so identifying the right one might be difficult.

'gards,
