Re: Change in Bombing Priorites 1941

Larry: Interesting. For starters, I have just looked at Jun 41 from Luftflotte 3's perspective. For example, 1-2 Jun Manchester was the target (with diversion of Bristol) and involved I/KG 55, I/KG 54, III/KG 27, III/KG 26, KGr 806, II/KG 53, I/KG 28 and II/KG 1 but Brighton, Plymouth, Liverpool, Penzance & Falmouth were also attacked by those that failed to find the target. Similar for 4-5 Jun (Birmingham) with 9 other locations being bombed. Then 6-7 Jun was shipping, 11-12 shipping but also Birmingham with bombs being dropped at 7 other locations. Then 13-14 Jun London, 14-15 Jun was Filton, 16-17 Jun Gloucester, 18-19 & 19-20 shipping and finally 21-22 Jun was Southampton
