Air attack on german radar station in northern Norway
I´m trying to locate information on an aerial attack on a German radar station at Ingoy island in August 1944.
The attack was carried out by British planes during Operation Goodwood, which was the code name for several air attacks against the battleship Tirpitz in August 1944. The attack on the radar station was done by planes that had not been able to bomb the Tirpitz (due to clouds over target). The were flying over Ingoy island on their way back to the aircraft carriers located off the coast of Finnmark, and some of the planes attacked and destroyed the german radar station there. The date of the attack is either August 22 or August 24. I am very interested in finding photographic material or flight logs for the specific attack on the radar station. 1: Have anyone heard of this attack? 2: Is there anyone who can direct me to a possible source for more information? Kind regards Allan Klo Hammerfest, Norway |
