1 Oct 1944

11. Enemy air activity against any of these areas is unlikely to amount to more than occasional reconnaissance sorties by Ju.88, Ju.188, Fw.200 or possibly other long range aircraft. By Long Range Weapons 12. Although the areas mentioned are within range of air launched Flying Bombs, in practice we consider that none of the places mentioned present practicable or worthwhile targets for attack by flying bombs or rockets and such attacks can, in our opinion, be discounted. Conclusion 13. we conclude that attacks by surface warships against any of the places mentioned can be ruled out.
