The story
MUNICH
257 Lancasters and 147 Halifaxes. 16 aircraft - 13 Halifaxes, 3 Lancasters - lost, 4.0 percent of the force.
The Pathfinders found that Munich was mostly covered by cloud and neither their ground-markers nor their sky-markers were very effective. Most of the Main Force crews could do no more than bomb on a timed run from the Ammersee, a lake situated 21 miles south-west of the target. The bombing was mostly scattered over the southern and western parts of the city.
No report is available from Munich.
