[Seaplanes]

Dear Peter

One thing is for sure, the loss reports for July 1940 are confusing to say the least. My information is mainly from the following contemporary documents:
KTB for General der Luftwaffe beim Oberkommando der Marine
KTB for Oberquartiemeiser/General der Luftwaffe beim Oberkommando der Marine
KTB for Seenotzentrale (Luft) Nord
Loss list from Gen.Qu. 6. Abt.
I have had no access to the NVM reports.
In addition I have noted info from previous postings on this forum.
Since I made my last posting, I have found that one of the aircraft reported lost on 28.07.40 actually was shot down on 27.07.40. This from a radio intecept at 00.05 on 28.07. with info that a white seaplane had ceashed into the sea and exploded on impact.
I believe that only one aircraft was lost on 20.07., one on 27.07. and one on 28.07.40.
I do have information about the He 59 that was sent off to assist D-ASUC on 28.07. My info says that the plane was damaged, no percentage given, by a british fighter and that two crewmembers were injured. I have not seen a loss report that can identify this aircraft.
What is the source for your information ?

It would be great to get these things correct once and for all.
