Re: 15th August 1940 Luftwaffe attack on Driffield

KG 30 only-KG 26 was earlier further north. There is a War Reporter report of the attack and I have all the losses but never seen a pre-attack mission brief or post attack report. 219 Sqn chased the He 111s back not the Ju 88s from my memory

Re: 15th August 1940 Luftwaffe attack on Driffield

Gerry: I have a copy in German and somewhere a translation. However, I would say that it is way over optimistic of what they thought they had achieved and is written in a way to appeal to civilians. If still interested, say. I also have copies of the photos taken of 219 that day.....

This might help a bit, but I doubt that you will find any official report from KG 30.
