122 Halifaxes from 408, 415, 420, 425, 426, 431,432, and 434 squadrons attacked the synthetic oil plant at Wanne Eickel. The attack was carried out from 16,000 to 19,000 feet with the crew releasing 960,000 lbs of ordinance. No observations were made due to a smoke screen over the target. A great number of aircraft were damaged by flak. Richard Koval (6bombergroup.ca)
