I know it's a long while ago and no update has been posted, so I assume that Christine has given up or found the information elsewhere, but in midsummer, just after midnight a Halifax (presumably alone) finds 3 destroyers and 2 E-boats (not U-boats) radios this information back so that the Admiralty can
a) warn convoys and
b) prepare an attack either by RN submarine or surface forces if close by or by air.
To get close enough to identify what kind of warships they were must have brought them into range and sadly they perished in order that others might live.
I do hope that there are some Naval records (both sides) so that perhaps we can find out if their message did lead to these ships being sunk or damaged. After all, Brest was not too far away from the D Day beaches and would have been a serious threat if these ships had broken through.
Just my comments, no involvement, just sensing the anxiety in the initial poster wanting some explanation for what happened to her Dad. |
