Flight path of Lützkendorf raid 14March 1945
Hello all,
I am researching my relative who was shot down on the Lützkendorf raid on the evening of 14/15th March 1945. Ideally I would like an idea of the route/flight path they took to and from the target. I have located the RAF loss card for his aircraft. On that card it has a reference for the route flown as “ See 4959 R7153” Can anyone advise how I can use that reference to get the route they took. I have a lot of info about the flight and raid, however not the flight path. Details of the aircraft are RA546. 9J-J. 227Squadron. Took off from RAF Balterdon crashed at Schussbach. Thanks one and all for any info forth coming. Regards Aaron. |

Hi Aaron
Please see your emails. I've got two pictures of a plan I found in a file at Kew in file ref AIR 40/2370: "Bomber Command, Signals Intelligence and RCM Reports". These aren't the plans in the 'Night Raid Reports' file. I think I photographed all the plans it contained for raids in 1945. Ian |

Aaron, having looked at the loss card for RA546 the reference mentioned is not 4959 R7153, but poorly written 49 Sq RF153. Going there (about four pages backward) shows most of the route there and back, just the last two are a little tricky to read. Hope this helps mate.
