Re: Questions on 8th AF Swinemünde raid on 12 March 1945

Thanks a lot Carsten!!!
That helps a lot!!
Yes, it definitely seems that the port was the target.
And thanks for confirming that I had understood correctly the after action report from Helmut Schnatz's page.
And thanks also for the route of Lt B F Cummings' plane. I have always liked that kind of details, from those one can figure out tactics etc.
I'm little bit disappointed that Freeman gives the marshalling yard as the target. I have liked his books, especially the War Diary because it’s handy reference. But there seems not to be a book without at least some errors. But if Freeman is right that all the other targets of the day were M/Ys it is perhaps an understandably error, there is so much data in the book.
It would be nice to have a BG history in one's bookself which would have all those little technical info on missions in it. Loadings, fuses used, routes used etc.

But thanks again, I’m deeply indebted
Juha
