Re: Airfield in the region of Rouen, June 2nd, 1944

Poix/Nord

24 May 44: bombed by 58 B-24s.


That was the last air attack on Poix airfield that might have caused any damage. By then, Poix was pretty beat up and had been prepared for demolition on 10 May. It played almost no role after 1 June 1944. A raid by 2 Mosquitoes was too insignificant to merit attention in the German reports, as it was considered harassment rather than an attack. It had a satellite by the name of Poix-Moyencourt that was 6 km SE of Poix airfield. This was an old deactivated landing ground that was rehabilitated in May 1944 but received little use.
