Condor operations fell to the lowest recorded through 1942, until 1943.[85] Anti-shipping operations in British coastal waters continued into 1942 and extended into the Irish Sea. Ju 88 and Do 217 aircraft from Luftflotte 3 took part, on occasion with torpedoes. Minelaying continued, but their operations were handled by Fliegerkorps X against Kessler's protests to have all such units under his command.
