26.07.1944: Air attack against german convoy off Kristiansand

Hallo friends,

on Chronik des Seekriegs there´s the following entry:

26.7.1944
Norwegen

Bei einem Luftangriff von Beaufighters und Mosquitos auf ein dt. Geleit bei Kristiansand werden 2 Dampfer beschädigt, auf den Geleitfahrzeugen (welchen ?) entstehen durch Bordwaffenbeschuss hohe Personalausfälle (Quelle?).

Do you have any data on this attack from the allied side?
In my german naval sources I didn´t find this attack.

Only for 25.07. (as stated in Chronik des Seekriegs) at 13.30 an attack of 2 Mosquitos against U 244 & UJ 1713 in AN 3617 (10 sm SSW Kr.sand-Süd) with 5 badly and 7 slightly wounded (1 seaman died later) on U 244 and 2 dead, 3 badly and 15 slightly wounded on UJ 1713 in "KTB des Kommandierenden Admirals Norwegen / MOK Norwegen".

Thanks

Darius
