Kämpfe im Skagerrak.

Some of the Do 17's sent up that morning by F.d.L. Ost came fra 3./Küstenfliegergruppe
- could "3 KG" simply be a misunderstanding/misreading???

Jens

Yes! Easy. We have here multiple translation (german-english-polish-russian), any wonder may occur with termins.

Hi Jens.
Thank you for reporting. This is very valuable information. I saw that Bartes report did not write any damage received MALIN and TRIОMFANT.

There was another raid the French ships in the Skagerrak!

Large French destroyers CHEVALIER PAUL, MILAN, TARTU (Cdr J. H.Ruck-Keene, British liaison officer embarked) and destroyers SIKH and TARTAR departed Scapa Flow for a raid into the Skagerrak to intercept two German merchant ships escorted by two torpedo boats in 58‑45N, 04‑48E at 2200/3rd.

What about him?

hi, cam,

more or less: nothing (as quite often in naval warfare)

The next sentence reads :
The sortie was without contact and the ships returned undamaged at 0930/4th.

That's it ... waste of fuel 

greetings, Urs

If the position is correct, 58‑45N, 04‑48E, it is actually not "into the Skagerrak".

The western border of the Skagerrak is defined by a line between Lindeness/N and Hanstholm/DK.
