A Love/Hate Relationship with a Halibag
Description
An account of the resource
Growing Up -The Hard Way WAR -1939
He joined the Local Defence Volunteers at first then realised he did not want to become infantry. He did mount road blocks and fire watches. He applied to join the RAF and was accepted. Training was at Blackpool, then Bicester, then Fairoaks.
At Heaton Park he was assessed as a future Navigator and was sent to Canada via New York on the Queen Elizabeth.
Then they were sent by train to Three Rivers, Manitoba via Moncton.
On completion of that stage of the training he came back via Liverpool. Further training was at Lossiemouth then operations at Leconfield. His aircraft engines started losing power on the way to Stuttgart and he bailed out. After some time they were captured by Germans.
They were sent by train to Frankfurt for interrogation then onwards to Stalag Luft VII. As the Russians advanced they were marched to Stalag III. They were eventually helped to escape by the Americans and he ended up in Brussels before being flown to the UK. This section ends with photographs taken during his training.
The Long March.
A document written by a Senior British Officer to the Russian authorities. Food supplies were inadequate and the Russians refused to allow the Americans to release the prisoners.
Report of a Forced March made by Occupants of Stalag Luft 7, Germany.
The report describes in detail the miseries endured by the POWs on a daily basis.

NUREMBERG WAS ‘LAID FLAT’ [inserted] No 9 27/8 1943 [/inserted]
[boxed] ‘German [missing word] H.Q. [/boxed]
Few towns, even in Germany, can ever have received so shattering a blow in 40 minutes as medieval Nuremberg, the Bavarian “holy city” of the Nazi Party, which was the target of the vast armada of bombers that roared for more than an hour over South-East England late on Friday.
The result was summed up in one pregnant sentence by a rear-gunner on his return. He said: “ I reckon we knocked the whole place flat.” Here is the story of this great raid as told to the Sunday Express by the men who made it.
‘We’ve finished the job properly’
By EDWARD J. HART, [italics] Sunday Express Air Reporter [/italics]
A Lancaster Bomber Station, Saturday.
NUREMBERG, centre of some of Germany’s most vital war industries, was a seething bonfire when our very strong force of four engine bombers left the scene. Crews returning at dawn brought glowing descriptions of the effects of their heavy bombs and incendiaries.
[2 maps]
[italics] “The searchlights be[missing letter]ween Mannheim and Frankfort were five-deep in a continuous be[missing letter]t – just like a flare-path,” said the skipper of “ R for Robert,” back [missing letter]rom Nuremberg. “Anybody caught by them would have a job to get out.” [/italics]
A solid red core of leaping flames, with columns of jet black smoke billowing up to 15,000 feet and visible 150 miles away, was the word picture painted for me by Flight-Sergeant John Crabb, of Glasgow, navigator of “S for Sugar,” making his twenty-second raid on Germany.
“I never imagined a town could burn like that,” declared the rear gunner of “A for Apple,” Sergeant Harry Smith, a Cardiff man, on his 37th raid.
Weather conditions were very favourable for the raiders. They had clear skies all the way and excellent visibility over the target.
Packed area
Despite an exceptionally large force of enemy night fighters, the attack was completed to schedule.
It lasted from 12.30 a.m. till 1.12 a.m. Lancasters, Stirlings and Halifaxes took part in it.
IN 42 MINUTES OVER THE TARGET THEY DROPPED ABOUT 1,500 TONS.
“I reckon we knocked the whole place flat,” said Sergeant Fred Lamble, of Leeds, rear gunner in “C for Charlie.” It was his 19th operation. “We’ve finished the job properly,” he added. “There’ll be no more Brownshirt parties in that part of Germany.”
Lamble seems to have had a thoroughly enjoyable night. “We had our first bit of fun about ten miles inside France on the way in,” he said.
“Illuminations”
“It would have done your heart good to see our fighters – bags of them – banging away at locomotives; pumping in their tracer bullets against a vivid background of blue searchlights. It reminded you of the illuminations in Blackpool – lovely to look at.”
NUREMBERG, HE SAID, WAS A GOOD RUNNER-UP TO BERLIN. ITS FIGHTER DEFENCES WERE HEAVIER THAN BERLIN AND COMPARABLE WITH PEENEMUNDE.
“With plenty of fire, smoke, flak and searchlights it was everything you could wish for,” he commented.
Only one thing marred his joy. In vicil [sic] life he was a concert singer. Over the target he had promised the crew the baritone solo of the Prize Song of “The Meistersingers of Nuremberg” but just as he started the intercom system failed.
Fierce combats
Lamble refuses to believe it was accidental.
Other crews brought back stories of fierce combats with night fighters. Gunners of “D for Donald” had two encounters.
Mid upper gunner Sergeant Harry Wilkins, a former municipal clerk at Hull, said a Ju.88 passed just above him while they were making their bombing run. He fired at it, but did not see the result.
His skipper, Flight-Lieut. Robert Munro, a New Zealand farmer on his 65th operation, told me: “I’ve
BACK PAGE, COL. THREE

(Continued from Page One) [inserted] No 9 27/8 43 [/inserted]
NUREMBERG ‘LAID FLAT’
never seen so many fighters in South Germany before.”
Sergeant William Walton, of Perth, rear-gunner of “J for Johnnie,” damaged an Me.109 just north of Nuremberg.
“I saw him coming in on the port quarter about 500 yards away and gave him a five-second burst,” said Walton.
Captain of “J for Johnnie,” Flying Officer Bruce Smeaton, of Manchester, who left school to join the R.A.F., reported a heavy concentration of searchlights.
“They nearly caught us going in and coming out,” he said. This was his eighteenth trip. He was in the Berlin raid.
Flying Officer Kenneth Coates, skipper of “R for Robert,” said the searchlights were five deep in a continuous belt – just like a flare path. “Anybody caught by them would have a job to get out,” he told me.
Flight Lieutenant Gobbie, who took part in a previous raid on Nuremberg, is also of the opinion that the old town has really “had it” this time.
Several crews saw friendly torches winking at them as they passed over France. They agreed that London’s black-out last night was far from good.
“It shook me rather badly,” one officer said.
One of the Lancaster squadrons taking part in last night’s raid was the first to drop bombs on a German target in this war. On September 4, 1939, six of its Hampden light bombers attacked the naval installations at Brunsbuttel.
Lights full on
The Squadron’s commander, Wing-Commander P.W. Johnson, A.F.C., gave me this summary of the Nuremberg raid:-
“I would definitely assess it as a major success. Nuremberg is a difficult target to find. It was very heavily bombed, and fires were started on the best and brightest scale. There is no doubt that the enemy night fighter effort has increased tremendously in recent weeks, but our defence against it is improving all the time.”
The station senior intelligence officer adds this footnote:-
“It was a very successful attack with well concentrated fires. Our crews encountered hundreds of fighters, many of them with navigation lights full on. This is quite a new departure. I cannot attempt to explain it. It makes an obvious target for our boys, but it may be intended as a decoy.”
IT IS OFFICIALLY STATED THAT 33 BOMBERS ARE MISSING FROM THE RAID – A SATISFACTORY PROPORTION CONSIDERING THE SIZE OF THE OPERATION. THE GERMANS, CLEARLY AS PROPAGANDA, CLAIM THAT 62 WERE SHOT DOWN AND SAY THAT “THIS WAS PROBABLY ONE-QUARTER OF THE WHOLE FORCE.”
The enemy communiqué describing the raid rather contradicts this by describing it as “a terror attack by strong British formations,” and says that it caused casualties among the population and heavy destruction in residential areas.
The German radio added: “Irreplaceable historical monuments of cultural value, including some parts of the Old Town Wall, and numerous churches fell victims to the high-explosives of the terror planes.”

A few RAF songs remembered (& modified!) by Pete Perry.
[underlined] Flying Flying Fortress’s. [/underlined] (Tune – John Browns’ Body.)
We were flying Flying Fortress’s at forty thousand feet,
Flying Flying Frotress’s at forty thousand feet,
Flying Flying Fortress’s at forty thousand feet
But we’ve only got a teeny weeny bomb!
Chorus:- Glory glory shall we drop it,
Glory glory shall we drop it,
Glory glory shall we drop it
Shall we drop our teeny weeny bomb?
We don’t do navigation we just follow the guy in front,
We don’t do navigation we just follow the guy in front,
We don’t do navigation we just follow the guy in front
And drop our teeny weeny bomb!
Chorus:- Glory glory - - - -
We’ve tons of ammunition we’ve got lots of big point fives,
We’ve tons of ammunition we’ve got lots of big point fives,
We’ve tons of ammunition we’ve got lots of big point fives
But we’ve only got a teeny weeny bomb!
Chorus:- Glory glory - - - -
We’ve bags of armour plating we’ve got flaksuits by the score,
We’ve bags of armour plating we’ve got flaksuits by the score,
We’ve bags of armour plating we’ve got flaksuits by the score
But we’ve only got a teeny weeny bomb!
Chorus:- Glory glory - - - -
We’ve lots of fighter escort we’ve got Spits and Mustangs too,
We’ve lots of fighter escort we’ve got Spits and Mustangs too,
We’ve lots of fighter escort we’ve got Spits and Mustangs too
But we’ve only got a teeny weeny bomb!
Chorus:- Glory glory - - - -
We were flying Flying Fortress’s at forty thousand feet,
Flying Flying Fortress’s at forty thousand feet,
We’ve loads of ammunition and a teeny weeny bomb
And we’ve dropped the thing so flaming high we don’t know where it’s gone!
Chorus:- Let’s all join the Army Air Corps,
Let’s all join the Army Air Corps,
Let’s all join the Army Air Corps
And drop our teeny weeny bomb!

[underlined] the Navigators’ Lament. [/underlined] (Tune:- John Browns’ Body.)
We were flying flaming Wimpys’ at five hundred flaming feet,
Through the flaming hail, flaming snow and flaming sleet.
The compass needle swung right round from South to flaming North,
And we made our flaming landfall in the Firth of flaming Forth!
Oh! To be a navigator,
Oh! To be a navigator,
Oh! To be a navigator
And make your flaming landfall in the Firth of flaming Forth!
The Bomb-aimers Ballad. (Tune:- From Greenlands icy mountains.)
We are the Royal Air Force, no blinking good are we,
We’d rather Booze in Nottingham than fight for liberty,
And every second Friday when for our pay we fight –
‘Per Ardua Ad Astra’ – bless you Jack I’m alright!
We’ve devastated Hamburg, we’ve blasted down the Rhur. [sic]
We’ve dropped our bombs on Berlin but Adolph wasn’t there-
And if we’re not unlucky we’ll give the blighters worse-
But if we catch a packet we’ll get a blooming great hearse!
Then in that heavenly op’s room St Peter will inquire
“Did you cause an explosion or start a blooming great fire?”
And then we’ll dream of booze-ups and days of long gone by
And curse those stupid blighters who taught us how to fly!
[underlined] Shaibah Blues. [/underlined]
Sure a little bit of mutti fell from out the sky one day,
And it landed in the ocean oh so very far away.
And when the Air Force saw it sure it looked so bleak and bare,
They said “That’s what we’re looking for – we’ll build an airfield there”.
So they sent out river gun-boats, armoured cars and SHQ,
And then their finest squadrons into that maksheen blue.
So peechi I’ll be going to a land that’s far remote
Until that day you’ll hear me say
“Roll on that maksheen boat”
I’ve got those Shaibah Blues, Shaibah Blues.
I’m fed up and I’m mucked up and I’m blue.

[underlined] No ‘flak’ at all. [/underlined]
In the year Anno Domini one nine four one
Operations decided there’s a job to be done.
It might have been Dusseldorf, Bremen or Hamm,
The laddies of 5 Group did not give a damn.
[underlined] Chorus:- [/underlined] There was no ‘flak’ at all,
No ‘flak’ at all.
Hundreds of searchlights
But no ‘flak’ at all.
There once was a pilot set out to bomb Kiel,
The aircrew as usual had not had a meal.
From the back of the aircraft there came a loud cry
“There’s a blooming great searchlight that’s right in my eye!
[underlined] Chorus:- [/underlined]
From out of the darkness some tracer did shoot
The rear gunner shouted “I’m hit in the boot”.
He blazed off his guns and called Jerry rude names
And we all saw the M.E. go down in bright flames.
[underlined] Chorus:- [/underlined]
They flew o’er the target and there down below
The town was lit up by a dull reddish glow.
The bomb aimer then to the pilot did shout
“The bomb doors are open, they’d better look out!”
[underlined] Chorus:- [/underlined]
They glided right in at the dead of the night,
The target appeared in the graticule sight.
The bombs were released and went whistling down
The gunners reported they’d burst in the town.
[underlined] Chorus:- [/underlined]
Now the natives of Kiel they took quite a poor view
And showed that their ‘flak’ guns were more than a few.
They fired off their armament, heavy and light,
‘till the heavens resembled ‘Brock’s benefit night’!
[underlined] Chorus;- [/underlined]

[underlined] The Airmans’ Lament. [/underlined]
There’s a home for batchy airmen
Way out in the sunny Sudan.
Where everyone is barmy
Including the blooming ‘old man’.
There’s bags and bags of bullshine
Saluting on the square
And when we’re not saluting
We’re up in the blooming air.
Oh we’re leaving Khartoum by the light of the moon,
We’re flying by night and by day.
We’ve just passed Khasfreet and we’ve nothing to eat
For we’ve thrown all our rations away.
So shine, shine Somersetshire, the Skipper looks on her with pride.
He’d have a blue fit if he saw any spit on the side of the Somersetshire.
This is my story, this is my song.
I’ve been in this Air Force too blooming long.
So rollout the Nelson, the Rodney, Renown.
You can’t sink the Hood ‘cause the blighters gone down!
Hold your noise, hear them say
We’ll do all the SPs who come down our way.
[page break]
At last they were out in the moonlight once more,
The course for old Lincoln was 274.
At ten thousand feet over Heligoland
They were shot up to hell and yet thought life was grand.
[underlined] Chorus:- [/underlined]
Now the moral of this is, don’t you go on ops.
It’s a dead loss to pilots, F/E’s, navs and wops.
And if in this war you’ve decided to fight
Keep your feet on the deck and sleep tight every night!
Chorus:-

[underlined] Three Old Ladies [/underlined] (Tune- What can the matter be?)
Chorus:-
Oh dear! what a calamity,
Three old ladies locked in a lavatory.
They were there from Monday to Saturday,
Nobody knew they were there.
The first ladys’ name was Elizabeth Humphrey,
She went in there just to make herself comfy,
But when she had done she could not get her bum free,
And nobody knew she was there!
[underlined] Chorus; [/underlined]
The second old dear was Penelope Porter,
She was the Bishop of Chichesters daughter,
She went in there to get rid of some water
And nobody knew she was there.
[underlined] Chorus: [/underlined]-
The third ladys’ name was Miss Harriet Bender,
She went in there to adjust a suspender,
But it got caught up in her feminine gender,
And nobody knew she was there!
[underlined] Chorus: [/underlined]-

[underlined] The Wingco’s OBE. [/underlined] (Tune:- Lili Marlene.)
Belting down the runway throttles open wide,
‘Second Dickie’s’ fast asleep – he’s just come for the ride.
We soon leave the flarepath far behind,
It’s dark up here but we don’t mind,
We’re pressing on regardless for the Wingco’s OBE.
Flying on a course that takes us out to sea,
Gunners do their checks just to see they’re firing free.
The navigator takes a fix,
The wireless op records his ‘dits’.
We’re pressing on regardless for the Wingco’s OBE.
Now we’re on the target, got it in the ‘sight’ –
A little to the left – a little to the right.
The searchlights they come mighty near,
It’s hot up here but we don’t care,
We’re pressing on regardless for the Wingco’s OBE.
Back in to de-briefing, what a blooming night –
“Did you find the target – get it in the sight?”.
The chairborn brigade begin to bind,
It’s damned unfair but we don’t mind.
We’re pressing on regardless for the Wingco’s OBE.
