5 September 1940 Luftwaffe raids details

Hello all,

Can anybody provide details on the German daylight raids on England on 5 Sep 40? To be more precise which units and how many aircraft of these units were involved in the morning and afternoon raids? Thank you.

Best regards,
Rob

Dear Nick,

Thank you for your reaction.

According to Lagebericht Nr 366 on this day 85 bomber and reconn aircraft and about 600 fighters were detailed during daylight raids on England this day.

Is there a specification of these numbers and which units were involved?

Best regards,
Rob
