Raid on Suez September 11, 1941

[ewstone]

Hello,

I've have been researching my family history, specifically the loss of a great uncle aboard a freighter called the SS Arkansan, which was sunk June 15th, 1942 in the Caribbean by the U-126.

I recently came across a newspaper article that stated the Arkansan was previously caught in a Luftwaffe attack in the Port of Suez the evening of September 11th, 1941. No one was reported killed aboard ship, but some were injured by "shell fragments" (and apparently later sued the ship owners).

Can anyone here point me in the right direction as to which Luftwaffe units were involved in this attack, and if any German documentation (KTB's, etc...) would have survived, and if so how to aquire them. I'm familar with ordering U-boat KTB's from the U.S. National Archives and Torpedo Reports from Germany.

I hope this is enough information to go on.

Thank you for your time.

Eric
