Allied attacks Trondheim 1940
 

Hi!

Looking for information about allied attacks against german forces in Trondheim area early in April 1940.
Have some information about one attack 23.April by two Whitleys against Jonsvatnet Lake .

Does anybody have information about which unit this planes come from ans so on ?

Also 25.April 1940 planes from HMS Glorious and HMS Ark Royal sendt planes to Trondheim and Jonsvatnet for hunt.
Anybody have information about this?

Any attacks during April 1940 on German forces are interesting .

Thanks !

John

John,

You can find something here about the naval operations of HMS Glorious and HMS Ark Royal here: http://www.naval-history.net/xDKWW2-4004-13APR04.htm

Scroll down to 23 April 1940, which includes later days.

John,

The 23 April 1940 RAF mission was to be carried out by 6 Whitleys of No. 102 Squadron, but due to bad weather, it appears that no bombardment took place.

See e.g. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/andrew....1940/04/23.htm
