On 26.11.1943, KG40 lost 6 He.177 aircraft during an attack on an Allied convoy off Algeria. It is believed that both single-engine and twin-engine Allied fighters were responsible. Does anyone have details of the fighters? To which Staffel (Staffeln) did the He.117s belong? Does anyone know the names of the ships sunk or damaged? Does anyone have copies of contemporary reports of the incident that they are willing to share - or do they know where I can obtain such?
