Convoy Maritza

[cam]

Hi,

Colleagues.

Can you please tell us which German planes attacked the British Force K November 24, 1941, when it attacked the Maritza convoy? Are the details of the deaths of the ships of the convoy known and how many crew members are missing?

Es handelte sich um zwei Ju 88 der 4. Gruppe des Lehrgeschwaders 1 (IV./LG.1), einer Abteilung des X. Fliegerkorps. Zuvor hatte der Zerstörer Lively fälschlicherweise geglaubt, er sei von italienischen Flugzeugen S.79 angegriffen worden.
Gruß, Thomas

Mattesini ist wie immer klasse

mini-Fehler: W.R.F. Hussey war Kommandant der Lively (und ging 1942 mit ihr unter), aber nicht der Lance.

Thank you Thomas.

That this work

I studied this work very carefully. This pair attacked Aurora and Lively at 15.44. Other attacks are mentioned there. For example, at 15.58 J-88 on the Penelope, and Smith writes that the cruiser had to perform an evasive maneuver. What was that plane?
