Who bombed Poti on 16 July 1942?
Hello,
Has anyone come across German sources describing an attack on Poti (a Soviet, now Georgian, port) on this date? I am interested in the units and number of aircraft participating. A dive-bombing attack is reported by Soviet sources, which, coupled with the port's distance from the Crimea (approx. 400 km), indicates the use of Ju 88s. However, according to Michael Holm's data, all the Ju 88 units in the southern USSR (III./LG 1, KG 51, KG 76) were based out of range of Poti on the 16th. Could it be that I./KG 100, which was based at Saki within range of Poti, made this attack? Soviet sailors had confused level and dive-bombers in previous instances, so He 111s are not ruled out.
