Re: Aerial Torpedo Attack on Ajaccio Harbour.

Alex, the island had been invaded by French forces earlier that month through this port, there is no doubt the attacking forces were luftwaffe.
A vessel sank was the LST79, there are plenty of online resources which should leave no doubt that it was a Luftwaffe attack.
