IV./NJG 5 – Western Front, 1943

[Henofred]

Hello/Bonjour,

In the book - German Night Fighters Versus Bomber Command 1943-1945 by Martin W. Bowman, I pointed out this excerpt regarding VI./NJG 5. “In late spring 1943 Kammhuber ordered IV./NJG5 to relocate to Rennes, France in defence of the German U-boat bases.” I wondered which was the source of that statement, the document upon which Martin W. Bowman relies on to write this sentence. I know that Lorient was severely bombed in the beginning of 1943 but perhaps someone here can shed some light on that matter.

Best regards,
Frederic
