# Talk:Operation Gisela

This article mentions two G-7s lost or wrecked on this mission. The Wikipedia Junkers Ju 88 article states the G-7 "Was in production but none finished." Other articles found by Google state a few may have entered service in the last few weeks of the war. But at least Wikipedia articles should be consistent. ??

Yes. I had not contributed to that content on the Ju 88 article. There were field kits available to convert existing Ju 88s to G-7 standards. I'll look into it. Dapi89 (talk) 12:29, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

According to the article (my emphasis):

For operational purposes, Eastern England was divided into four regions or Räume (areas). Raum A was Yorkshire, bounded by Hull, Leeds, Lancaster and Newcastle. Raum B covered the Midlands and Lincolnshire whilst Raum C encompassed East Anglia bounded by London Peterborough, Luton and The Wash. Operations began in earnest in October 1940.
That's three regions. Maybe the fourth region covered everywhere not in A, B or C? If so, we should say so. Also, the map image that accompanies the article has East Anglia as A and Yorkshire as C - so which is right, the text or the map? Chuntuk (talk) 16:20, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

The article's 'British losses' table appears to be inflated, including losses that had nothing to do with Gisela. Martin Middlebrook and Chris Everitt, in The Bomber Command War Diaries (Midland Publishing, Leicester, 2000, ISBN 1-85780-033-8 ), p.674, say, 'This attack took the British defences partly by surprise and the Germans shot down 20 bombers -- 8 Halifaxes of 4 Group, 2 Lancasters of 5 Group, 3 Halifaxes, 1 Fortress and 1 Mosquito of 100 Group and 3 Lancasters and 2 Halifaxes from the Heavy Conversion Units which had been taking part in the diversionary sweep.' They add, '3 of the German fighters crashed, through flying too low.' Khamba Tendal (talk) 19:05, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
