OSLO GESTAPO HEADQUARTERS
This raid was intended to be a morale raiser for the Norwegian people and was timed to coincide with a rally of Norwegians who supported the Germans.
4 Mosquitoes of 105 Squadron set off from Leuchars in Scotland but were intercepted by FW 190s on their low-level bombing run and 1 Mosquito was shot down. 4 bombs hit the Gestapo headquarters but 3 passed right through the building without exploding and the fourth, which remained inside the building, also failed to explode.
