The Operations of this night were typical of those dispatched on nights of no moon and marginal weather conditions. Small forces of bombers were sent, more with the intention of causing general damage in German cities than of obtaining any outstanding bombing success.
BERLIN
35 Wellingtons and 28 Whitleys; bombing results were not seen because of cloud and heavy Flak. No losses.
KIEL
31 Hampdens; none lost. Bombing was very scattered but one heavy bomb destroyed a house, killing 10 and injuring 6 people who were sheltering in the basement cellar.
HANNOVER
26 Blenheims; 1 lost. Bomb bursts and one big fire were seen in the target area.
Minor Operations: 7 aircraft to Calais and Rotterdam, 5 Hampdens minelaying off Kiel. No losses.
