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.

Excellent Andy. Shame they stop at 28th August 1940. Wanted to see them go through to the end of the BoB. Wonderful couple of pararaphs about the parachute & cable encountered at Kenley on 18th August!
