Re: Attack on Convoy CW9 "Peewit" night of 7/8 August 1940
Peter
Thanks - yes, thats as I thought. Reading through the survivors reports from the ships in convoy they talk about the sound of low flying aircraft at 02.00ish, but as the attack from the E-Boats came almost at once I figured they must have mistaken the growl of the E-Boat engines and thought they were aero engines. However, I thought I'd check because the report of aircraft (and of being bombed!) crops up in three reports from different individuals and all from seperate ships. The only explanation is that they mistook the engine sound. |
