Re: N.J.Kdo. Bretagne

The list of known sorties is interesting

There does not seem to be any correlation between the sorties you list and the nights when RAF raids and Gardening took place. Particularly in May and early June 1941 there are some quite large (for the time) operations on Brest and St Nazaire, with up to 100 aircraft, but no sorties.

Two thoughts, are they there to protect U-boats entering and leaving harbour or to try to bag Coastal Command aircraft over the Bay?
