Related existing record: 11 April 1943 Part 2 — 11 April 1943 Daily report. This separate source account concerns material already represented in that record; it does not by itself establish an additional incident.
After midnight, many aircraft returned over the sector of 716th Infantry Division. One aircraft was shot down by antiaircraft fire near Jersey. Three British men were recovered by a harbour-protection boat and handed over to the Luftwaffe; two others drowned. At about 09.30 hours a mixed formation was north of Guernsey on an easterly course.
