Re: Who sunk Dutch trawler Protinus 19.03.1940
Just for the record, another trawler from IJmuiden (Erin, IJm. 12), reported a strafing by a multi-engine German aircraft on 17-4-1940 (16 hrs.) at 58.50 N and 2.20 E. The captain was absolutely sure it was a German a/c, having noticed the swastika on the vertical stabilizer. No injuries were sustained by the crew.
Although not thread-related, it gives an impression that the fishing vessels of (then still) neutral countries also had every reason to watch out. Source: article in the 22-04-1940 issue of the Amsterdam newspaper Het Nieuws van den Dag. Regards, Leendert
