Bomber Command sent over 1000 aircraft
to Germany last night. The attack was well
concentrated and mainly directed against
Frankfurt. Our Mosquitoes were over Berlin
and Western Germany.
Frankfurt is the centre of the chemical industry
also an important railway centre with
a population of 1/2 a million.
Mosquitoes coming later also dropped some
4000 pounders into Frankfurt.
The heavy attack lasted half an hour.
Our Mosquitoes coming from Berlin saw
Frankfurt burning from 200 miles away.
33 of our planes are missing.
Today many planes were seen flying out
over the East coast and the enemy reported our
planes over West, North West and Central
Germany. Berlin was still burning from the
daylight attack when our Mosquitoes were over it.
