According to Freivogel/Rastelli: Adriatic Naval War 1940 - 1945, there was also:

Re: Yugo Partisan ships sunk ect by aircraft

Here's another comprehensive source on the same subject, i.e., ships sunk/damaged off the Dalmatian coast 1941-45:

Hallo James. What were the German words that translated as “stumbling bolt”?

I think I’ve worked it out: Absturz inf. Flakbeschuß.

This was a standard wording in loss reports and “inf.” is short for “infolge” = “as a result of” so “crash as a result of anti-aircraft fire”.

Re: Yugo Partisan ships sunk ect by aircraft

Beware the SUPER MODERATOR:

"His aura of power, his command and confidence, the sense that—whatever he was—he was something humankind wasn't prepared to face."

I would tend to agree, but isn't "inf." also an abbreviation for Infanterie? Although that's a noun so the "I" should be capitalized. It would be helpful to see the original German entry for 24 Mar 45. From the information provided so far, we (I) can't be sure whether the target attacked was a ship or a target on land.

You’re quite right, Larry, ideally one would see the original before trying to translate it. Reverse engineering is rather tricky!
