Re: Time over target ~ Peernemunde August 1943
Hi there,
From Martin Middlebrook's book on the Peenemunde attack; 1st wave attack 00.15-00.30 3 Group,4 Group and 33 Pathfinders. 2nd wave attack 00.31-00.42 1 Group and 18 Pathfinders. 3rd wave attack 00.43-00.55 5 Group,6 Group and 18 Pathfinders. According to Middlebrook, only two of 5 Groups aircraft bombed early,so your uncle's aircraft was probably over the target somewhere between 00.43 and 00.55,British time. The site of the crash,Anklam-Lassen, is about 50 km south of Peenemunde. Hope this is of some use' Regards,Mark. |
