Dear Kaczmarek, Larry and Col.Bruggy,

Many thanks for your very welcome support and replies! I really hope to find more about the bomb loads of the aircraft that didn't return from the Duisburg raid 20th December 1942.

That night, one Cookie was dropped on a relatively low level near Venlo and this bomb cannot be linked to any of the Cookie carrying bombers that returned safely that night, simply because
- either the time of bombing don't match at all
- their bomb was dropped at such a high altitude that it would have fallen more steeply.

So there it is an educated guess that one of the bombers that failed to return - I now think especially about ED347 which was intercepted by a nightfighter on an exceptionally low level - might have lost his Cookie. I just have to proove that this crew flew with a Cookie...

All the best, Marcel
