Gents,
No.3 Group carried out a experimental raid on the 16/17th July against the U-Boat yards at Lubeck, coded named “Operation Pandemonium” The plan called for 21 of the groups Short Stirlings to take-off early evening and fly at low level across the North Sea in formation until a point where crews using cloud as cover could carry out individual attacks on the target.
Does anyone know the exact targets, ie individual yards in Lubeck or damage if any caused.
TIA
Steve

Just a small entry in “The Bomber Command War Diaries”:
16 July 1942
21 Stirlings in a raid using similar tactics to the cloud – cover approach used on the recent raid on Danzig. Only 8 aircraft reported bombing the main target. 2 Stirlings were lost.
