Re: 29/7/44 Normandy
The intended targets that night (all at 2250) were Camisy (LG 1), La Folie (KG 30) and Cametours (KG 6). I./KG 66 was due to place markers on La Folie at 2247.
The Fw 190s of I./SKG 10 and the Me 410s of II./KG 51 were to attack the area Banneville - Sannerville - Touffreville and west of there at 2245.
Fliegerkorps IX also laid 80 mines "in 15 W 1051, position in somecases approximate". so the itention was to mine at 49º 27' 30" N, 0º 55' 0" W (which is about 8.5 km and 38º off Pointe du Hoc, so in the general area of Omaha Beach).
Fliegerkorps IX's appreciation of the night's operations is attached (National Archives HW5/546), also their intentions for the night 28/29 July (HW5/544).
