500N,

I have relations who tell of a JU88 dive bombing the Standard Motor works in Coventry in 1940, in broad daylight. It then departed the scene at low level with the rather embarrassed AA defences reacting rather belatedly as they all thought that it was a Blenheim.
The JU88 gunners responded to the AA fire, leading to wild reports of a 'murderous Nazi dive bomber' strafing innocent civilians on Hearsall Common.



Hell of a lot of effort for a 'statement'. Why WOULD they?

There's an entire fleet in the straights right now. A pretty large multi-national one.
