Aitäh. Yes, there was Finnish liaison officer with Lfl 1. I have been mostly interested about year 1944 so I do not have the 1942 material handy. In any case the liaison officer reports are more often miss than hit. One gets the feeling that information was not really freely available for the Finnish liaison officers. Will probably check the material during the early autumn, but not sooner.
These opertions indeed seem to be work of KG4, the whole Geschwader being based at Prowehren and Jesau May-June 1942. The announced movements over Gulf of Finland also do fit to minelaying operations. I guess the operation was meant as much against the Soviet submarines than against their surface vessels.
