Dresden 13./14. February 1945 - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Hello,

during second Raid against Dresden carried by RAF on 13./14th February 1945 between 1.22 and 1.54 o´clock only 4 of total 551 bombers claimed that they bombed an alternative target. Does somebody know to which Squadrons these four Lancasters belonged and which targets they supposed to attack?

Thanks for help

Michal

Hi Michal,

I know that one a/c from No. 3 Group attacked last resort Chemnitz. But not from which Squadron. It would be very interesting for my researches from which Squadron came this a/c.

Hello Rene,

yes, once again our interests are closer

Most probably one of these four Lancasters bombed one city in Bohemia. There is a local Police Report which says that it could be one of bombers from second wave (dropped incendiaries (Stabbrandbomben) 1.45 o´clock morning). If you have interest, you can contact me by e-mail. I believe you have got my e-mail. Unfortunatelly, I have lost your one.

Best

Michal
