Attack On Shipping December 1939

Hi All,

On 17 December 1939 the merchant ships Sultan Star and Agnita were attacked off Dungeness and Hastings respectively. I did not know that anti shipping attacks were taking place in the channel this early in the war. Does anyone know of any early attacks on shipping than this. Also what German units were involved in these anti shipping attacks. The aircraft in the 17 December attack was described as an HE-111.

Regards,

Mark
