Re: RAF raid on Brunswick, Jan. 14, 1944
Hello Christian
According to Chorleys BCL it shows for 14-15 Jan 1944 an operation to Braunschweig. Losses are recorded for the following squadrons: 7, 9, 12, 44, 49, 97, 100, 101, 115, 156, 166, 207, 405, 408, 432, 514, 550, 576, 622 and 626.
Lancaster II's were lost from 514 squadron LL685 JI-G2 - crashed 800 metres W of Bennebostel, 5 km S of Celle, and LL679 JI-J2 it only states "all are buried in Hannover war cemetery". 432 squadron DS850 QO-M - crashing on the Engdener Wuste, E of Nordhorn and DS740 QO-Z - crashed at Lagershausen 6 km NE of Northeim. 408 squadron LL699 EQ-C it only states "Those who died rest in Hannover war cemetery". DS767 EQ-Q it only states "all rest in Hannover war cemetery". 115 squadron LL673 KO-G - crashed at Gittelde, 16 km NE of Northeim, a town straddling the Rhume, some 20 km NNE of Gottingen and DS720 KO-D "all are buried in Hannover war cemetery"
I hope this helps - if you need any details on crew from any of these Lancasters you only have to ask.
Allan
