18-11-1943. 6 pm. Fred Allen.
American Liberators made another
raid on the Norwegian mines
this morning. Details are not yet
available. Last night Halifaxes and
Lancasters bombed Ludwigshafen
The attack was on a swollen scale
but concentrated.
Our Mosquitoes were over Berlin.
One plane is missing from the
night's work which is a small
percentage. The weather was
reasonably favourable. Our planes
only carried heavy high explosives.
In Italy the weather is still
appalling. Heavy rain is falling and
rivers are flooded. Only patrols
take place and our positions
were somewhat improved.
Weather, according to correspondents,
has also improved.
British and American fighter bombers
attacked road transport.
Airfields near Athens were
bombed for the 3rd time in 3 days
In the 24 hours of the operations
we lost 2 planes. General Sir
Henry Maitland Wilson has spoken
