Note the report in column 7: "Bombs In Eire" |
(The Germans officially denied that they bombed Ireland. In the official German documents I have available they state that they bombed the Scilly Islands, Brighton, Bournemouth, Newport, Plymouth, Portsmouth and Exeter, but there is no mention of any target in Ireland. It is possible a single aircraft found its way there, but there seems to have been no sanctioned mission over the Emerald Isle.) |
