[Delmenhorst]

There are a difference of where and when. There were always a chance to get coned over the target, but quite often it was easier to cone a bomber on its way to the target. In Denmark the German navy regularly coned British bombers at Esbjerg for several minutes. I would way that sometimes something like one out ouf five got coned. That is not the same as they were shot down. Kiel, Bremen and Wilhelmshaven were also feared by BC. And yes, it got easier with radar controlled Master Serchlights, but it was also done without radar. I would say that the highlight of coning bombers were in 1942 to mid 1944.
