Re: I./KG 40
K report 261/1944 in respect of the loss of He177 F8+IH shot down 0335 hrs off Caen on 11-6-44 says '' Started from Bordeaux/Merignac at about 0130 hrs with 2 HS 293 Glider bombs and six to eight flares, to attack concentrations of Allied shippiing off the Beash-head ''.
The reports also notes only 1st and 2nd. Staffeln were involved in these attacks ( 3rd. Staffel in Norway with Fw200 ? ).
1st and 2/KG40 had around 12 losses involving crewmen killed/injured or missing in the June to July period against shipping.
