Raid on Aachen May 24/25th 1944

Hello,

For an article I am writing about the crash of LW653 in Dongen Vaart I am looking for the flown route from Lissett to Aachen and back, during the night of 24 to 25 May 1944. Is there a map/plan available?
And which bombing flights were there even more that night?

Thanks in advance.
