Blenheim
Re: 19/04/41, 8/JG 77 vs blenheims ?

These claims by JG 77 on 19/04/41 for Blenheims cannot be verified because only three Blenheims were lost on that day, none of them in the area mentioned.
T2348 of 11 Squadron was lost about 400 miles to the north; R3806 was lost in England; and V5583 was lost in the Sudan.
This does not mean that the Luftwaffe pilots didn't shoot down something (I cannot imagine what) but they didn't shoot down any Blenheims.
