Raid on le Havre 19-20 May 1940
Hello,

The fist air raid on Le Havre is said to have been on 19 May 1940. It was probably a night raid, and maybe even in the early hours of 20 May as all crew of the French ship sunk (the auxilary mine sweeper AD 49 Augustin Normand) are officially listed as being killed on the 20th.

I will be interested to know which Luftwaffe units did this raid, and at which hour.

Thanks in advance
