Bergen air raid 11 May 1940

Hi guys

Various books suggest that a stray bomb dropped by a FAA Skua during an attack on Bergen on 11 May 1940, hit a commandeered hotel where high-ranking German officers were holding a conference - and that perhaps 20 were killed.

Is there any substance to this story?

Cheers
Brian

Hi John

'Skua' by Peter C. Smith (Pen & Sword 2006) is one.

Cheers
