KG 30 attack in Barents Sea on 4 Nov 42

Hi,

Steamship Dekabrist was sunk by Ju 88 aircraft of KG 30 on 4 November 1942 in the Barents Sea. First-hand reports from crewmembers is that she was attacked with both bombs and torpedoes. Can someone confirm that account? Were the Ju 88 aircraft from KG 30 at that time equipped to launch torpedoes? Would they have been deployed in this manner? Can someone validate that torpedoes were used in this attack?

Thanks

Marty
