Info sought on May 1941 raids in Cornwall
I am looking for any information on the planes, Luftwaffe units, crews, etc involved in two specific bombing raids in Cornwall in May 1941.
The first was on Thursday 15th May at 0240hrs when 8 HE bombs were dropped at Hemmick Beach near Dodman Point on the south Cornish coast killing two soldiers and an auxiliary coastguard. The second was on 19th May at 0010hrs when 4 HE bombs were dropped in the same valley leading up from Hemmick Beach killing only cattle. If anyone is able to identify if they were part of a specific mission, or give the intended targets, or whether they were just discarding their bomb load before crossing back over the Channel, I'd be grateful. I have information on the casualties etc from the British side. I'm just trying to build a complete picture of the two raids. Any assistance gratefully received.
