The major chemical works target was selected for the Group in this major industrial city on the Rhein River. Briefings were given to (36) crews between 0600-0700 hours and at 0921 all were dispatched. Two PFF ships led the Group formation, which resulted in (30) ships going over target and dropping (408) 500# GP bombs. Results were not observed due to a 10/10ths overcast. No enemy fighter opposition was experienced but once again flak over the target was intensive and accurate. A total of (21) returning ships had battle damage inflicted. Mission aircraft began recovery at base around 1615 hours.
