Wilhelmshaven
115 aircraft of Nos 6 and No 8 Groups - 71 Wellingtons, 27 Halifaxes, 9 Stirlings, 8 Lancasters - carry out the final raid on the much-bombed town of Wilhelmshaven until October 1944. Bomber Command documents make no comment on the outcome of this raid. Wilhelmshaven's report calls it a 'small raid' with 'a little damage in the town' and makes no mention of casualties. Once again, the bomber force returned without losing any aircraft.
4 Mosquitos bombed Brauweiler and Düsseldorf without loss.
