Convoy attacks 1940

[Steve Smith]

Hi,

Trying to determine the identity of a vessel claimed sunk off the coast of France near Dunkirk, October 21st 1940. A rather bad photograph shows a twin masted vessel almost capsized after being attacked.

Any pointers most welcome.

A convoy sailing that close to France would have been risky but I can see nothing on individual ship losses

Hi,

War diary of 38.MS-Flotilla
16.35-18.16 hrs
[Off Dunkirk] an English bomber attacked boats of 32.MS-Flotilla, which were transporting army soldiers. The bomber was driven away by well aimed flak fire of Logger no.24.

War diary of 296th Division
16.40 hrs
A convoy of 15 ships was strafed by an enemy aircraft near Gravelines. Soldiers that were exercising beach landing suffered losses – 2 KIA and 5 WIA.

Hi all,

Yes, sorry it was a German convoy that was attacked off the coast of France.
