Re: Den Helder, Netherlands, 14 October 1940

Hi Nick,

The bombs were reported by the local Air Raid Precautions Department at 13.27 hrs, the KTB of the Luftwaffe Führungsstab Ic mentions 4 bombs near the Luftnachrichtenaussentelle between 13.20 and 13.25 hrs.

I presume the latter is your source?

The way I read this entry is that the Germans didn't really assume that the Y-Gerät was the actual target, merely reporting that bombs came down in the vicinity of it.

The Y-Gerät at Julianadorp has never been a target, it's successor the Knickebein installations, actually was, in March 1944.

Regards,
Hans
