Re: Why did the Luftwaffe bomb... mud?
put simply the bombers missed, I can give you an example of a bombing attack that took place in my locality, the LW were attacking the rail yard at Pontyclun which was where coal from the Rhondda was marshalled before transport round the country, some of the bombs landed at Measyfelyn Farm a mile south of the target and others destroyed houses in Talbot Green two miles North!
Bomber command also managed to drop huge amounts of ordinance on open land too, I think these days we underestimate how difficult navigation and bomb aiming was in anything but clear conditions in 1940 - 43
