Hi Stig,

Hopefully someone with a fuller understanding of German might be able to give a better translation of the rest of the paragraph. I thought the assembly area referred to was that of the Home Fleet rather than the German aircraft. I also thought that the spirit of the rest of the paragraph was to the effect that the loss of Heinrich was a black omen ahead of the planned night attack rather than saying Heinrich was on the attack of 28/29th. The report of lost to Beaufighters perhaps should have been lost to Blenheims if the day loss is correct.
On the other hand as you say perhaps Radtke made a mistake in writing that Heinrich was lost on a Schiffsziele bei Irland. In both the book and the QM's list the Bs Uffz Herbert Mandl is shown as gefallen might where he is buried indicate the likely loss area of B3+DC ?

All the best
