Stupid Question re: shipping

[Marc BENOIT]

Hello,

At the Bundesarchiv in Freiburg, there are lists of claims of ships damaged or sunk by the Luftwaffe from the outbreak of the war till approx the end of 1940.
They give date , unit , tonnage , place , bombs used , damage
I can check the exact archiv quotes if you want.

Another source could be the Lloyds list of vessels lost during WW2 if you can acceed to it ( unfortunately, I couldn't yet)

Hope this helps Marc

Marc,

Thant's exactly what I was after. As part of my thesis I want to look at claims v. actual losses so the books everyone mentioned are a great start - hopefully the Freiburg stuff will balance it

Thanks again guys

The Lloyds register I mentioned was "Lloyd's War Losses - the Second World War Vol.1: British, Allied and Neutral Merchant Vessels Sunk or Destroyed by War Causes" (Lloyds of London Press Ltd., 1989)
