german air raid Bari Harbour 2 dec. 1943

[NUCCIO]

Hi folks,


Since I am conducting a research around the German attack on the Bari Harbour 2 dec. 1943 that it cost the loss of 17 allied ships and serious damages to the city for the explosion of USS John Harvey (that it contained 2000 bombs of mustard gas liquide Iprite), I would be interested to know consistence of the German strength of attack, departments of affiliation, origin, employment of particular weapons (e.g. LT350), losses in action. In this case, is knows the involving of kampfGw 26,54,30,76,100.
I would be thankful besides if someone gave me information around the UK/USAF Squadron that day in the aerodrome of Bari-.Palese near the city; it would seem in fact that an nightfighter Beaufighter is taken off on alarm but without success.
As the action it is known it had so much success to define the accident as "a second small Pearl Harbour."


Cheers
