Re: bombing of Dautphe 16 march 1945

Martin, I think that is a good guess. It might be hard to find the specific groups that attacked the town. The town may be "included" in the description "6 other town areas, a M/Y, rail junction, crossroads". Many of these attacks were done without the target visible, the groups were led by pathfinder aircraft that were using various blind bombing methods. It is quite possible the town center was hit in error, the target may have been the railroad on the east side of town, for example.
