Is there a list of ships sunk by the Luftwaffe?

Brian, thank you for these additional thoughts, I've sent you a private message about this.

If you wanted to do something on this you'd have the field to yourself!

More seriously, if you were to start a list and post updates here or on a web page, you would probably find that people would contribute additions and corrections

Nick, I wholly agree with your thoughts about research, having done a bit of it on Luftwaffe strengths and losses. I must admit that the prospect of becoming "Paul Thompson, the eminent expert on Luftwaffe naval operations" appeals to my vanity! Time, as ever, is the issue.

I think your idea of starting an online list is eminently sensible and I'll do that, after checking with the AxisHistory members mentioned by Larry. I want to make sure I won't be duplicating somebody else's work, although I may exaggerate the danger!

Regards,

Paul
