17 March 1945 -- Mission #260 -- Target: Munster

17 March 1945 Mission #260 Target: Munster

The marshalling yards in this town were scheduled for strike and at 0700 and 0800, (31) aircrews were briefed with all being launched starting at 1100 hours. The mission was recorded as being uneventful but bombing accomplished by the (30) aircraft going over the target had to be executed using GH and H2X methods. A total of (1240) bombs were released but results could not be observed. Once again the German Air Force was noticeably absent and flak was negligible. All bombers returned to base around 1700 hours.
