Lufttorpedostaffel ?/1KG26 shipping claims
I am researching the Allied convoy PQ15 to Murmansk between 10 APr 1942 and 5 May 1942. In particular I would like to track down records or accounts from the luftwaffe unit that attacked this convoy on 2 May and ultimately discover the pilot and crew of the plane that sunk the CAPE CORSO. It is believed from my searches that the aircraft were Heinkel He 111 H-6 torpedo bombers of 1/KG26. 3 Merchant vessels were sunk during this convoy CAPE CORSO, BOTOVAN both by aircraft according to sources & JUTLAND by U251. A 4th ship was mined in port.
My main interest is the sinking of CAPE CORSO as a relative was killed on board. So any help or pointers in the right direction in finding this info would be gratefully recieved.
