Re: Operation Abigail Rachel, Mannheim 16/17 December 1940

Christian,
Sorry! I scanned the page at work, but the computer here does not have a photoshop or other Image Editing system...Could you inform me your personal email? The file has 1,30 MB and the Forum only alows 194,5 kb for PDF scans...I can either sent the scanned DOC from home, this afternoon, or from my job ( 1,3 MB ) if you provide me your email. Yours...
Adriano
PS: In Bomber Command War Diaries no much details about the Squadrons involved...however there is a very interesting subject about 8 Wellingtons ( from which Squadron I do not know ) that acted for the first time as precursors to the "Pathfinders". They were selected amongst the best crews to create a fire ( they only carried incendiaries ) in the centre of Mannheim. According to the book, they failed and most of the bombing was not in the centre of the town...You will see on the scanned DOC.
I am waiting for your email or you can wait for a small archive here tonight. I am sorry I moved out and part of my possessions ( scan included ) is still back home ( with the 700 + books and photos, etc..).
ADRIANO
