Re: Mosquito Attack on Irish ship on 23.10.1943
Oh, that was very simple. Ireland was considered pro-German in many respects, so this could not help any friendship. Nonetheless this does not explain shooting at the ship, and if indeed crews were awared of presence of the ship, then I do not see any other reason but attack according to orders. Please have in mind, that about two weeks later Lewandowski overtook 307 Sqn and was promoted to A/W/C. This would not happen if he was guilty, would it?
Some corrections to spelling. HJ656 S/L Maksymilian Lewandowski (pilot) F/L Czesław Krawiecki (nav.) and (I believe) DD728 P/O Bolesław Sochacki (pilot) P/O (I have got F/O) Tadeusz Śliwak.
