Re: Operation Market Garden
Hi,
There is an interesting twist to 17 Sep fighter operations. The GefStd (Ops Bunker) of 3 JD, who was responsible for fighter employment, had a skeleton manning only on this day. The staff was busy conducting a prearranged evacuation. I think this goes a long way to explain the low number of claims on this particular date. Please see: http://www.gyges.dk/Gefechtsstand%20bunker%203%20JD.htm bregds SES

You are thinking of Halifax DG396 of 295 Squadron. The Horsa it was towing (HS 102) did indeed end in the water, being claimed by Oberleutnant Dieter Meister (V/KG 40). For photos taken during the attack, plus written account visit: http://www.raf38group.org/dg396b.htm Brian
