Amsterdam Schiphol December 1943
 
I am researching the 9th Air Force attack on Amsterdam Schipol on Monday December 13th 1943. What I would like to establish is which Luftwaffe Units were based there on this date and what aircraft types they operated.

Is there any information on the casualties and damage sustained during this attack.

Additionally were any of these units involved in the attacks against 9th Air Force bases at Gosfield, Earls Colne, Andrewsfield and Easton Lodge three days earlier on December 10th 1943. If not what Luftwaffe units were involved?

Thanks in advance.

Many thanks for the info, I have ordered a copy via the internet. I guess I will struggle somewhat with translating it but at least that will give me some good information.
