Re: RAF Leaflet Dropping: 1939-40
Here are some examples of initial Battle sorties involving nickelling
16-Mar-40 N 226 Nickel Battle 1 Mannheim
18-Mar-40 N 226 Nickel Battle 1 Mannheim
N 88 Nickel Battle 1 Mannheim, Saarbrucken
20-Mar-40 N 103 Nickel Battle 1 Koblenz
The operations go on into April 1940, if you are interested get the ORBs for the AASF sqns 12, 88,103, 105, 142, 150, 218, 226 they were all involved
The sorties involved a night recce component looking for movement on the Rhine and other routes and also the dropping of nickels in cities like Mannheim etc
