Re: Attack on Portland Harbour 4th July 1940
III/StG 51 took of at 0900 hrs to attack shipping in Portland. They reported sinking an 'old warship' of 8-10000 tons with 6 bombs, a 10000 T freighter and a 5000 T freighter; one Stuka crashed on the return trip. Nowhere does it say they thought it was the Ark Royal and in any case how could one mistake Himalaya for a carrier-are you thinking about the attack on Rosyth in Oct 39 when German propaganda claimed to have sunk the Ark?
