Re: lack of NF attempts
Bruce,
Your question is otherwise very good, yet SES answers really gives the reason (lack of materiel). Given the time period, countering the night flights of Allied strike aircraft on Axis shipping / convoys, is in my opinion too, an overlooked aspect but on the other hand, more long patrols over (mostly) hostile waters of the area whould possibly not have changed turn of events. The only type available for the job in 1941 were the Ju 88 C-2 / C-4 and they had to cover a very large area with just one or two Staffeln. I belive their main targets were normal RAF bombers, not the FAA / RAF ASV strike aircraft.
Best regards
