Bomber Command codes for targets in Köln area?

Dear all,

A German research friend of mine who is doing research into the airwar in the Köln (Cologne) area asked me if the codes that were mentioned in the Bomber Command Operations Summaries in the early war years (up to 1942) can be tied to certain targets in Köln? I.e. B 47, M25, Z57, M464, and M465.

Who can help with this question?

Cheers and thanks, Theo

B.47 - Knapsack power station
M.25 - Dortmund-Ems Kanal Old Viaduct
M.25A - Dortmund-Ems Kanal New Viaduct
M.464 - Köln Eifeltor marshalling yard
M.465 - Köln Gremberg marshalling yard
Z.57 - Schiphol airfield

B = power stations
M = communications
Z = airfields

Regards

Martin Giles
