Re: Updated Luftwaffe Shipping Claims List

Page 309 of No room for mistake has "2 Arado aircraft from Scharnhorst" looks like the author made a mistake

page 295 I made a mistake it is 26 june Arado flown by Ltn Frendenthal with Unt Koch in the back seat. Sighted submarine east of Nordoyan lighthouse. Two 50-kg bombs dropped from 300 meters straddled the boat and, during a second pass, several hits were recorded from the 20mm cannon. The submarine dived with a appartent list, leaving air bubbles and an oil slick. The claim for a sunken submarine was accepted and Admiral Marschall awarded the Iron Cross, first class to the crew. The submarine was the Trinton which reported the attack and escaped undamaged.
