Re: Vaagso 27 December 1941

The German Naval War Diary, cited above by Nick B., covers the Vaagso raid in considerable detail: see KTB for 27.12.41 (pages 413-416), KTB for 28.12.41 (pages 426-428) and KTB for 29.12.41 (pages 441-443).

To your (D): on page 442, it states that 6 Blenheims attacked a convoy consisting of the steamer Magdelena Vinnen and escort vessels on 27 December. The U-Jäger 1404 and the MS (motorship? minesweeper?) 23 together shot down 3 of the 6 Blenheims with their Bordwaffen. There is no mention of any damage to the steamer or the escorts.
