Re: FW 200 in Lapland war

Hi!

Finns made an invasion to Tornio harbour Röyttä (wiki in Finnish: https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B...4n_maihinnousu try Google Translate or something).
In short the invasion consisted of sailing to the harbour with commercial ships crammed with soldiers and weapons. Took Germans by surprise.

German did indeed launch Hs 293s from Fw 200 against the ships unloading in the harbour. I have no time to collect the details right now,


Cheers,
Kari

EDIT Google really mangles the text, but better than nothing
