British bombers hit German raiders

Thursday, July 24, 1941 www.onwar.com

Over Occupied France... The Scharnhorst is hit five times by bombs from a force of 15 Halifax bombers while lying in the port of La Pallice. The repairs required will not be complete until 1942. Since Prinz Eugen has been hit earlier in the month and Gneisenau is under repair, this means that none of the German heavy ships in and around Brest are fit for operations in the near future.

In the Mediterranean... One of the British transports engaged in Operation Substance is hit before entering Malta. Empty ships from previous trips join Force H for the return to Gibraltar.

In Tokyo... Vichy France agree to the Japanese demands for bases in southern Indochina.
