Luftwaffe Target Choice
How did the Luftwaffe choose their targets when not part of a major raid (especially during poor weather in Aug 1940), did they select by area, target type or location? Or did they have a priority list to work through?

Re: Luftwaffe Target Choice
Thanks all, were any records made of the targets selected on the day, similar to the RAF Operations Records Book ?
