Shot down by night fighter pilot Unteroffizier Emil Heinzelmann of the 8./NJG 1, flying a Bf 110 from Twente airfield.
Duisburg. 572 aircraft, 34 losses (5.9%). Near-perfect PFF marking lead to highly concentrated bombing and a significant improvement on the three preceding recent raids on Duisburg. The centre and port areas of the city were badly damaged, including four of the August Thyssen steel plants. Such was the success of this raid that no further raids were planned on Duisburg for some time.
