Operation Nuremburg. 335 aircraft, 8 losses (2.4%) using H2S and visual marking as Nuremburg was out of the range of Oboe. Ground haze prevented accurate marking and as a result the bombing was spread over a wide area, much of it outside the city limits. Much damage of MAN and Siemens factories together with railway installations.
Reason for Loss Thought to have crashed near Furth, NW of Nuremburg
