21 Feb '45 BC attack Wörms

Dear All,
21/22 February 1945, 349 a/c attacked the town, 1 Lancaster lost
Does anyone know which Bomber Command Groups carried out the attack so I can do some further research.

Many Thanks
Andrew Bird

Brief Background;
This was the first and only large Bomber Command raid on Worms. The raid was an area attack in which 1,116 tons of bombs were accurately dropped.
A post-war survey estimated that 39 per cent of the town's built-up area was destroyed.
