missions of II/KG100 against Escort Groups july and august 1944

[martin75]

Hello,

during july and august 1944 III/KG100 has conducted several missions against allied escort groups along the french atlantic coast. I would like to know if similar missions were conducted during nights 28 to 29 july and 31 july to 1st august ; I found no mention of these missions in ULTRA.

For night 7 to 8 august a mission was led apparently by 8 Do-217 and a hit claimed by Lt Kirstenpfad on a steamer of 10000 BRT in the "Bucht of Saint-Malo", but the "Kriegstagebuch der Seekriegstagebuch" mentions a mission by 8 Do-217 in the Seine bay. Can someone tell me what is the right version ?

Lastly, cruiser Diadem was narrowly missed by an Hs-293 before Gironde estuary on 12 august but , otherwise, I do not find any mention of this mission.

Thanks for your patience and I hope for your help.

Claude
