(b) There are indications that the Ju.88 Fighters based in Western France are carrying out a small number of free-lance night interception patrols over the Bay of Biscay. (c) [underlined] Training Units. [/underlined] The figures shown in the above table under the heading of R.T.U., represent the estimated strength of training aircraft considered likely to operate. Greater number of aircraft are present at the bases indicated, but the remainder are not likely to participate in active operations. (d) [underlined] Fighter Bombers. [/underlined] The fighter bombers shown above may operate from any temporary base from Brest to the Frisians at any time without our obtaining previous knowledge of their movements. Fighter Bombers and S.E.F. type reconnaissance aircraft may also operate in emergency as defensive fighters. Aircraft of a Staffel of Single-Engined Fighters in the ST. ANDRE DE L’EURE Area operate as night fighters. It is considered that a total of up to 20 S.E. and T.E. fighters are liable to operate in defence of industrial targets, training or factory airfields, repair depots and aircraft parts in Germany and occupied territory. Those aircraft are only for local defence and do not form part of the establishment of first line operational fighter units. In addition to the above, fighter units which are re-equipping in Southern Germany and Austria are liable to operate in a defensive capacity when called upon to do so. [Page Break] 5.
