ORB for 75SQ Mission Berlin 7th of November 1941

I looking for the ORB of the RNZAF 75sq for the Berlin Mission (75th of Novmber 1941) because I try to reconstruct the mission of 75 SQ for that day. I hope someone can help me with it. Or can tell me how can help me further. Or where I can find some information.

Thanks, René Bosma

Hi René,

I've just posted the info below on the RAF Commands Forum where you've placed the same question. For the benefit of others:

The National Archives at Kew hold the ORB's on microfilm, reference number AIR27/645. Don't forget to check the appendices in AIR27/649 because sometimes these contain interesting details. At the same time it would be advisable to check the operational orders for that night in the ORB of No 3 Group, reference number AIR25/52. A route map including locations with interceptions and combats can be found in AIR14/3371. Combat Reports of that night regarding 75 Sqdn can probably be found in AIR50/192. For the context of that night you may check Bomber Command's ORB with intelligence Reports in AIR24/237.

Well, enough primary sources to reconstruct that night!

Kind regards,
Hans Nauta
