Orders regarding disposal of bomb loads

[edwest]

This Luftwaffe example indicates the pilot made a choice based on his aircraft damage and opposition encountered. Or it was an attempt to confuse defenders as to the primary target by dropping part of his bombs on one location and then the other.




Hope this helps,

The main targets that night were Avonmouth, Portsmouth, Southampton and Warmwell but there were a number of diversionary attacks. As Falmouth is quite a distance away, perhaps this was one such attack but the unit and results were never recorded
