Wrong. While the Brits and Frogs were in full retreat, the sabotage of
that harbor was an objective carried out very well.

Right, but Germany also occupied the Netherlands and it ended up there.

It didn't need to, the coal was trucked by rail from wherever it was mined
in Belgium.

 RW>> WD> There was no shipping-activity <period>.

Pre-war, no doubt.

Un-reliable, as he wasn't privy to anything the Germans wanted to keep
secret.

 WD> 3) The other half of my family is into barge-shipping on the rivers.

LOL! Sure they are.

I would believe Erla VII was photographed by previous bombing flights
of B17s headed to other targets in Germany and France. Unless Belgium or
France had a 'secret' air force that the Germans didn't know about, flying
small craft from Britain that far would be ludicrous.

And to, were their own nationals.

Obviously! You're one of them.

If would have to be a one way mirror to get a view of you in your natural
state of idiocy.
