Luftwaffe Units in Convoy Attack 21 July 1940

[Andy Mitchell]

Peter,

This was from an Anlage to Lagebericht 335 and can be found on-line here. It's page 48 in the file.

However, I have these files as either jpgs or pdfs - contact me via pm if you are interested.

I think that I have copies of the daily Lageberichten (effectively high level reports) for the period Sep 39 through to Nov 41.

They cover general operations (sometimes referencing specific units); overview of weather conditions; recce results; results of enemy bombing i.e. where did bombs actually land (could be interesting for someone trying to establish a relationship between Bomber command claims and what actually happened). Attached are various appendices (anlage) including the shipping claims items.

The Anlage for the Anti-shipping claims usually appears in the month following the period covered. So, the July 1940 listing apears in the Aug 1940 file.

Sometimes there are more details regarding anti-shipping claims in the daily Lageberichten - I checked back for 21 July 1940 and there is very little info in the corresponding daily file.
