Title

Alan McInnes memoir
A German Holiday 1944-45
Description
An account of the resource
An autobiography by Alan of his time as a prisoner of war. He describes the night they were shot down over Germany. Also his training with his mainly Australian crew. Then he goes into more detail regarding the operation when he was shot down.
He describes their capture, mistreatment and interrogations at various locations. After interrogations at Dulag Luft they were sent to a transit camp in Frankfurt then on by train to Heydekrug, Stalag Luft VI. Although their camp section was new it was cramped and basic. He describes camp life in detail. As the Russians got closer they were sent by train to an Army camp at Thorn. He read a copy of NCO education in the camp. These courses were extremely popular and supported by text books sent from the UK. Exams were sat and papers sent to the UK for marking. At Thorn they marched to Stammlager 357 but not for long. They then marched back to the railway and were sent to Fallingbostel. He describes the rail journey in detail, then in greater detail he describes camp life.
Later he was moved to an officer's camp at Eichstadt. This turned out to be an Army camp which refused them and they were sent to Sagan. He stayed there for a short time then was moved to Stalag Luft 3, then 111A. As the Russians neared they moved again. After a couple of days waiting in trucks they returned to their camp. The railway system was breaking down as the end of the war neared.
After the Russians reached them they were allowed out of the camp but still remained billeted there. He writes about his impressions of the Russians.
His journey home was delayed by rain that did not allow aircraft to fly.
His story ends with his retelling of the night his aircraft was shot down, his night in Brussels and his return to England.

HANOVER A BLAZING RUIN
[inserted] No 10 22/3 9-42 [/inserted]
Fires Visible to R.A.F. 150 Miles Away: Hundreds of 'Cookies'
A NEW record for concentrated bombing was set up by the R.A.F. in the raid on Hanover on Wednesday night. One of the heaviest weights of high-explosives was dropped in a cascade attack lasting only half an hour. Though by no means the biggest onslaught the R.A.F. is able to make, it was one of the heaviest raids of the war.
Several hundred 'planes, with a large proportion of four-engined ones, took part. [missing word] smashing attack followed an enforced lull of 16 days, caused by bad weather.
When the last wave of 'planes left the target deep red fires were glowing in many parts of the city, while several smaller ones were rapidly gaining a hold, according to pilots and aircrew members returning from the raid.
Many of them reported that they could still see the fires when they were between 140 and 150 miles from Hanover on the way home. One pilot reported a big sausage-like column of thick black smoke giving the impression that the rubber works had been hit.
Hundreds of 4,000lb. "cookies" crashed down in the target area. Pilots and crews reported huge billowing flames where these hit.
Wing-Commander P. Burnett, from Doncaster, who led a big formation from this station, said: "The raid was most successful."
Two Birthday Raids
Flight-Lieutenant A.C.A. Patten, who was born in Lambeth, bombed Germany on his birthday for the second time in succession. He hopes to do it again next birthday if the war is not over by then. Patten has taken part in 64 raids so far.
"It was interesting over the target, where the weather was very clear and we could easily see a built-up area," said First Lieutenant E.G. Roberts, of U.S.A.A.F. now attached to the R.A.F.
"We were in the first wave and saw the start of the raid. There were bags of incendiaries raining down, with plenty of 'cookies.'
"On the way back we had two encounters with German fighters, but after our gunners gave them a burst they sheered off without answering our fire.
Lieutenant Roberts flew in C for Charlie, a veteran Lancaster which has taken part in 31 raids.
Important Works
Hanover was last raided by Fortresses on July 27, when the rubber factory which is the main target there was considerably damaged. It is a city of about 450,000 people, and in the course of 1938 and 1939 the Germans made it a kind of second Ruhr, though on a smaller scale.
Besides the important rubber works there are a large number of small factories making aircraft components and a very large number making armoured fighting vehicles.
The rubber factory makes about 90 per cent. of the tyres serving the German war effort. There is also a large oil refinery.
The Air Ministry also reported that small forces bombed Oldenburg and Emden. Several enemy fighters were destroyed.
Fighters on intruder operations attacked enemy airfields in Holland and North-West Germany, and destroyed one enemy aircraft. Twenty-six bombers and one fighter are missing. – B.U.P.
