Dangerous Moonlight
by Nicolas Trudgian
| On the bright, moonlit night of 30th March 1944 more than 800 RAF bombers set off to raid Nurenberg. Martin Drewes, flying his Me110G, scrambled to meet them and was able to spot the first of his targets without using radar as it was silhouetted against the silvery clouds. He attacked the Lancaster, from the Australian 467 Squadron, using his 'Schräge-Musik'' upward firing guns and went on to shoot down a further two bombers before returning to base. By dawn, 96 RAF aircraft had been shot down, which was the greatest loss suffered by Bomber Command on any one night in the entire war. |
