Moreover, at dusk of the same day, a group of 33 Stuka's attacked a Polish taskforce coming from Danzig and bound for operatins in the Danzig Bay off Hel (see this post for further detail on its composition). This second attack (Battle of the Danzig Bay) required two successive raids, the first one having been driven back.
I could not find reports on air raids taking place during the following date.
The 3rd, 4th and 5th air raids that I know of happened between the mornig and the early afternoon (until 3 PM) of 3 Sep, and were driven against the port of Hel, were the destroyer ORP Wicher and the minelayer ORP Gryf -who had survived the Battle of the Danzig Bay- were moored. These raids had been preceded early the same day by a naval attack carried out by the two German destroyers Z1 Leberecht Maass and Z9 Wolfgang Zenker. |
Thanks again Gap
When I make the final patch for v2.1 - I will reflect on this and use the best method to creat these raids.
It may not be 30 stukas but it will try to represent them.
Like wise the Polish ships - I had to use DDs to defend (lay mines
) the bay.
The Polish subs are in their correct locations.
I have also changed history a wee bit with the German surface ships. The taskforce is kept together and makes for the bay
