Re: Luftwaffe raids on South Coast March - May 1944

Old post revisited but in relation to what Nick said earlier

On the night of 14/15 May 1944, Luftflotte 3 put up 91 aircraft to raid Bristol the force’s strength was reduced by 15 early on, when RAF intruders attacked the bases of KG 2, KG 54 and KG 51. The resulting delay prompted Luftflotte 3 to order a 15-strong harassing operation against coastal towns between Portland and Bournemouth. The first wave—eight Fw 190s of I./SKG 210, each with a 500 kg bomb—took off at 20.30. Shortly after 21.00, three aircraft hit Bournemouth, one Weymouth, one Poole, another an airfield between Portland and Poole and one broke off. Three Fw 190s of the second wave struck Bournemouth at 22.00 …"

I wonder if the airfield between Portland and Poole was actually Warmwell as I'm not able to discover if it was hit that night.

I have no positive evidence that I./SKG 10 (not 210) were operating this night but believe that 15 Me 410s of I./KG 51 were lurking around and apparently one of them bombed Chilbolton. However I expect Nick has more information from ULTRA
