Re: Luftwaffe Air Dropped Mines 20-23 Nov 39
At 18.11.39 ten He.59 from 3./906 were transferred from List to Norderney for mining operations. Already at same day one Kette started with mines but returned via bad weather. Next day again bad weather, so first real operation was made 20.11.39, from 16.35-17.00 to 23.00-00.36(21). 9 He.59 participated, all returned.
Next day there was two staffeln - 3./906 and 3./106, 8 He.59 each. Times was 16.25-51 to 22.32-23.40 for 3./106, 16.35-54 to 23.07-00.18(22) for 3./906. Plane Z from 3./906 aborted and returned 21.15 via fuel loss. He.115 (from 3./506) made its first mining flight only at 6.12.39 from Norderney. Source is KTB KuFlGr 106 which commanded all staffeln, and 3./906's KTB.
