Operation Anklet
During Operation Anklet Allied force consisting of:
- cruiser ARETHUSA
- destroyers ASHANTI, BEDOUIN, SOMALI
- escort destroyers KRAKOWIAK (Polish), KUJAWIAK (Polish), LAMERTON, WHEATLAND
- corvettes ACANTHUS (Norwegian), EGLANTINE (Norwegian)
- minesweepers HALCYON, HARRIER, SPEEDWELL
- survey ship SCOTT
- tankers BLACK RANGER, GREY RANGER
- landing ships PRINCESS CHARLOTTE, PRINS ALBERT
- auxiliary ship GUDRUN MAERSK
- tug JAUNTY
was attacked and bombed by German seaplanes. According to Polish sources one enemy plane was downed.
In German sources I was able to find that on 27 XII 41 one He.115 was lost in Vestfjorden:
- He.115B 1./KüGr 406 (W.Nr. 1888; K6+LH), none personal injured
Can anyone confirm that this He.115 was lost due to enemy action and add any details about German air raid on Allied ships?!
Thanks in advance for any help!
