Poor inter-service communication and cooperation between the Kriegsmarine and the Luftwaffe resulted in the loss of two German warships through friendly fire bombing and German or British mines.
I can imagine those bomber crews high fiveing each other popping open a bottle of hooch and passing it around before somebody gets them on the radio to ask, "what the fuck they thought they were doing."
Given that the anti-shipping air mission and anti-fishing ship mission didn't know about each other, they probably only worked out that it was friendly fire days later.
I like to imagine the bomber crew walking by the docks like "Damn, how'd you guys capture so many British ships?"
