"At Castrop, to the north-west of Dortmund, high-explosive bombs fell on a petroleum refinery. Flames were immediately seen to break out, and after one raider had left the target, the tail gunner, looking back, saw explosions take place.
"Storage tanks at Misburg, close to Hanover, were also systematically bombed. A direct hit on a large building in the centre of the target, believed to have been a power house, caused an explosion which was felt by the crew of the aircraft flying 10,000 feet above. Here, too, fierce fires which broke out could be seen by the raiding crews after they had left the target area.
"Another power house is thought to have been destroyed in the course of an attack on oil tanks at Sterkrade, north of Duisburg, where Brit'sa bombers pressed home their attack despite intense anti-aircraft fire from many powerful ground batteries situated round the target. Shell splinters pierced wings and fuselages.
