N°342 Sqn air attack on K.775934
Hello,
October 29th, 1944, six Boston of N°342 Sqdn and six of N°88 sqdn were detailled to attack a rail road bridge at K.775934. I suppose that it is about the rail road bridge of Venlo ( Holland) already attacked the day before. Could anybody confirm it to me? What means K.775934? Is it a coordinate on a card either the code of an objective? Thank's in advance for answering Regards Franck |

Have a squizz here
http://www.echodelta.net/mbs/eng-overview.php and here http://www.echodelta.net/mbs/eng-translator.php On the Nord de Guerre Grid, vK775934 translates to a river crossing just north of Roermond, at Buggenum, a bit southwest of Venlo. |

Thank you very much.
It confirms that it is indeed about the attack of a rail road bridge, to cut the retreat of the German forces, the border line being not so far. regards Franck |
