(Achmer just west of Bramsche and Handorf NE of Munster (am I correct on that?)).
I think the previous page would contain a statement: On Target GU-XXX and then lead into the timings that follow from the top of the page you posted. I think that possibly that target is Achmer based on the timings and locations we can see. (But both targets are not that far apart so it really could be either.) They give the IP location which is "before" the target and the rally point (rendezvous) location after the target. The flight would have gone from the IP to the target. Then there would have been a sharp turn after passing over the target to get to the RP.
They then start describing another target GU-4048 (or GU-4084?) for the second attack formation, with its associated locations and timings. We might see the IP and RP points for that target on the next page and they might give us some better clues as to the target.
