Re: B17s bomb Dutch town 11.19.43

Alan,

The "targets of opportunity" were in fact rural areas in the province of Gelderland, Netherlands. Most bombs came down on farmfields.

A bomb came down on a castle (Rosendael) and there are also a testimonies of bombs on farms and fields around Haarlo and Hummelo, small towns in the eastern part of Gelderland province.

Regards,

Leendert
