[SMF144]

Smokie,

I have W/O Crowe of No. 3 Squadron as being a casualty of battle probably due to flak, having landed safe but N.Y.R.

"Armed recces found rather less movement than previously, especially by rail. Apart from the locos....No. 3 Squadron destroyed two lots of ammunition wagons south-east of Ludwigslust, one explosion going up to 2000 ft. MT were scattered over a wide area. The majority were collected by Nos. 3 and 56 Squadron."

"Eight Tempests of Nos 3 and 122 - sweep Schwerin. W/O Crowe force landed safely at T.0045. (Probably due to flak.)"
