Re: bombing incident, 9th April 1941

Main attack on the night of 9/10th April 1941 was targeted to Birmingham by 237 bombers drawn from ten units. I believe there were eight losses with a further three aircraft returning with combat damage. Units taking part KG 1, KG 26,KG 27,KG 53, KG 54, KG 55, KG 76,KG 77,KG 100 and KGr 806. The book' The Blitz Then and Now vol 2 ' pages 518 to 520 describes the nights activities and losses.
