Re: 23rd December 1944 - raid on Koln/Cologne - VC for plane shot down
It seems I have missed a response I send earlier. Retry...
The point is, (as far as I can see/dig sofar) there are two Lancasters that could apply: one that crashed 2 km short of the target (specific crash site address even mentioned - the PB120) and Palmers Lancaster that was shot over the target or on the target (no specifics on the crash site). Also the combat report of the 65 squadron mentions the bombs having been released before the attack(s) took place and/or were completed. This fact (not the combat-report of the 65 squadron) was the reason for Palmer to being awarded the VC in the first place.
