Obwohl das Wetter über dem Zielgebiet als gut bezeichnet werden kann, befin den sich die meisten Flugzeuge beim Bombenwurf nicht über Steyr, sondern über Vöcklabruck . Operationen Luftwaffe - Nachtjagd Der Täuschungsangriff der Englän der ü ber der Nordsee veranlasst die deutschen Jägerleitoffiziere 209 ein - und zweimotorige Nachtj äger etwa 2 Stunden vor dem eigentlichen Hauptangriff der Briten auf Schweinfurt , in den Nachthimmel hinein starten zu lassen. Die Masse der deutschen Jäger ve rsamm elt sich nördlich Bremen und Hamburg , um den vermeintlich herannahenden Feind zu empfangen. Als die erste Welle der englischen Feindbomber, diesmal die tatsächliche Angriffsformation, die französische Küste überquert, versammeln Jägerleitoffiziere die sich in der Luft befindlichen deutschen Jäger nahe dem Funkfeuer Kuli (Raum Trier). Von dort aus gelingt es einigen J ägern, sich in den Strom der ersten Angriffswelle im Raum Metz einzuschleusen. Über zwanzig Feindmaschinen werden abgeschossen . Um 32.06 U hr beorde r n die Jägerleitoffiziere alle verfügbaren Nachtjäger in den Raum Schweinfurt. Doch der Aufruf kommt zu spät. Als die ersten Jäger dort auftauchen, sind die britischen Bomber bereits abgeflogen. Als die zweite Angriffswelle über dem Reich auftauch t, fallen den deutschen Nachtjägern lediglich 10 Bomber zum Opfer.

  • Martin Arthur Thornhill 1922 ‐ 1944
    In Memorium Martin Arthur Thornhill 1922 ‐ 1944 Lest we forget At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. We will remember them. Page 1 of 43 In Memorium Acknowledgements In writing this memorial to my cousin Martin I and the rest of Martin’s surviving family have been greatly struck by the kindness and generosity of very many people across the world. I don’t propose to name each and every one (the list is quite long) but merely to say the scope of the document would have been greatly reduced without the help of, in no particular order: Mrs Ann Clark and her mother and father (Gwen and John Verity) (UK) Pierre Vandervelden, Belgium RCAF Bomber Command Museum, Nanton, Alberta, Canada (especially Dave Birrell) Veterans Affairs, Canada (Robin Hewitt) The Parish Office, Auneau, Eure‐et‐Loire, France The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (especially Ian Small) Gordon Stronach, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Mike Catling, Vicar of the Parish of St. Andrew’s, Adforton, Herefordshire and his team The Royal British Legion. Steve Rogers of The War Graves Photographic Project (UK) Kings School, Rochester, Kent, UK The Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School, Rochester, Kent (UK) The existence of very many completely free to access websites, frequently run by voluntary effort and dedicated to telling the human stories of WW2 is quite impressive and their contribution to my search has proved invaluable (not least in making connections with other individuals). I would name a just a few (again not in any particular order): http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/ http://ww2talk.com/forums/page/index.html http://www.inmemories.com/ http://airforce.ca/ http://francecrashes39‐45.net/ http://www.lancaster‐archive.com/ To all of you out there who have, in your own way, contributed to my quest; Thank you.
