Re: Bombing of Eindhoven 19th September 1944
How many Dutch civilians were actually killed in OYSTER on 6 Dec 1942 ? Bowyer in 2 Group says 25 but Middlebrook in BCWD says 125? Which figure is accurate ? Also, was there not also some suggestion that the bit about the raid taking place on a Sunday to reduce casualties was a myth as it had actually been planned and twice cancelled at the last minute during the preceding week ?
