Convoy attacks 1940
Hi,
Trying to determine the identity of a vessel claimed sunk off the coast of France near Dunkirk, October 21st 1940. A rather bad photograph shows a twin masted vessel almost capsized after being attacked. Any pointers most welcome. Steve

Re: Convoy attacks 1940
A convoy sailing that close to France would have been risky but I can see nothing on individual ship losses

Hi,
War diary of 38.MS-Flotilla 16.35-18.16 hrs [Off Dunkirk] an English bomber attacked boats of 32.MS-Flotilla, which were transporting army soldiers. The bomber was driven away by well aimed flak fire of Logger no.24. War diary of 296th Division 16.40 hrs A convoy of 15 ships was strafed by an enemy aircraft near Gravelines. Soldiers that were exercising beach landing suffered losses – 2 KIA and 5 WIA. Robert |
