Re: May 11. 1944 and III./KG 26

Some links about this battle:

http://ahoy.tk-jk.net/macslog/Convoy...rextremee.html (a quick reading revealed several errors (Beaufort night fighters should be Beaufighter for example, but should give you some hint).

http://users.swing.be/navbat/tg/229.html

http://books.google.fr/books?id=1BL5...#PRA1-PA269,M1 (five pages of the USN Official History)

All the above gives a number of German "losses" going from Allied sources, that is probably inflated.

IIRC the Ju 88 fighters of KG 40/ZG 1 were at the time escorting this kind of raid over the Medditerranean, and there may be something in the book 'Bloody Biscay', but I don't have it at hand today.
