Re: Elba attack September 1943
Hi guys,
I've checked HW 5 ULTRA and the Y-Service reports for 16 September 1943, and could find nothing about an attack on Elba. K.G. 100 and S.K.G. 10 operated against the Salerno landings, and J.G. 77 and J.G. 53 were also active over Italy. II. Fliegerkorps, based in central Italy, flew a total of 52 fighter sorties (with 38 of those by J.G. 77 and IV./J.G. 3) and 31 ground-attack sorties (all by S.K.G. 10). The Ju 88 units were all operating by night at this stage. A variety of aircraft types based on Corsica flew missions on 16 September 1943, but these were all reconnaissance, and no aircraft reported operating over Elba. So it is a complete mystery to me.
