Re: Do24s operating off Murmansk 8 July 1941?
I doubt any Soviet ground personal, in whatever capacity, would be able to identify a German aircraft type. The Do 24 is probably from Brian's source and is most likely a guess from whoever wrote it.
Seaplanes have one great advantage over a landplane, they can land wherever there is a reasonable patch of water. So it is not impossible some Do 18s were performing some advance mobile operations.
