Dambusters 7. Oktober 1944
The 617 Sqn. Target for that day was the Kemb Dam (Rhine-Rhone-Canal) at the River Rhine near the Swiss-German-French Border.
Two Lancaster was shoot down by German Light AAA and crashed near the target into the River Rhein bzw. an small German Village. My questions: Lancaster III LM 482 has eight crewmembers, could it be, that their where 3 Airgunners (one of an .5 in BMG at the Mid-Under Position) on board? How many Lancaster where with that mission? There are rumors, that members of the Lancaster NG 180 where killed at the ground after landed by parachute. Is this correct? thanks, h. |
