Air Attack on Grantham 24 Oct 42

[Chris Goss]

Does anyone have a rough idea which unit might have done this-nothing in the KG 2 or KG 6 histories which leaves a possibility of II/KG 40?

[Brian Bines]

Home Office report talking about bombs falling on Railway property at Hull on the 24th. says Grantham was attacked the same night when considerable damage was caused, but without any effect on any important Key Points. The KG2 history says 12 aircraft attacked the UK on the night of the 24/25th Oct and the RAF report says ten long range bombers attacked Norfolk and the East Riding of Yorkshire again dropping H.E. and I.B. this night. The mention in the KG2 book suggests the possibility of their involvement, as far as I could see no RAF claims and no losses.
