Overview
Two major and one minor operations this week – attacks on Freiburg and Dortmund and minelaying in the Kattegat. One aircraft was lost, one damaged by an incendiary, 6 aircrew killed, one becoming a POW and one injured by flak.
Freiburg was not an industrial town and had not been attacked before and, it appears that the authorities were taken unawares, resulting in considerable damage and the loss of over 2000 lives.
