Arms city wiped out in 18 minutes
By EDWARD J. HART
[italics] Sunday Express Air Reporter [/italics]
R.A.F. Bomber Station, Saturday.
REMSCHEID, medieval Rhineland city and centre of Germany's machine tool industry, had its first and probably last R.A.F. raid early today.
It was a thunder-and-lightning attack and lasted 18 minutes. By then Remscheid had been blasted by a load of bombs greater than fell on London during the heaviest 13-hour blitz of May 1941, and at least ten times greater than any raid on Britain this year.
The first waves of Lancasters, Stirlings and Halifaxes went in at 1.13 a.m., the last came out at 1.31.
As they recrossed the Dutch coast 200 miles from their target the homing air crews saw the glow of blazing Remscheid reflected against a thick pillar of black smoke.
No second time
"I do not think we shall have to pay it a second visit," a senior intelligence officer told me after interrogating the crews at this Halifax station in the North of England.
"Devastation seems to have been on the same scale as the Wuppertal raid on May 29. I put it well up in the higher class of bombing successes."
This view was shared by Group Captain H. H. Brookes, who accompanied our raiders as second pilot of Z for Zebra. Remscheid, he told me, is a city about the size of York.
"It was completely wiped up in one go," he added.
'Mushroom' fire
Captain of Z for Zebra was Squadron-Leader Peter Bunclark, D.F.C., D.F.M. His D.F.C. was awarded last Thursday.
Here are some descriptions of the Remscheid blasting from air crews who had bombed Hamburg three times in the previous six nights.
"The whole place was blazing like celluloid," "Fires like molten metal," "Just a bubbling sea of gold, silver, orange and red."
A navigator said that the outline of the blazing mass below exactly corresponded with the contour of his target map. He thought it uncanny. Remscheid measures 1.1/2 miles from east to west and 3 1/2 miles north to south.
Hitting the spot
Sergeant Reg Sloggett, former railway clerk from Manchester, was bomb-aimer in X for Xmas, last Halifax to leave the target area.
"It was a blazing mass when we went in and got bigger all the time," he told me. "I saw several terrific explosions and some of our bombs hitting the spot."
It was a clear night and, although night fighters were up in large numbers, there were no encounters by Halifaxes from this station, two of which are missing. Fifteen bombers in all were lost.
Remscheid's pre-war population of 107,000 is believed to have been greatly increased by the influx of foreign workers and refugees from neighbouring blitzed areas.
In the centre of the town are some 25 factories making machine tools and aircraft parts.

Dear Folks,
Here I am back in England [deleted] this wa [/deleted] after a very pleasant crossing, & I must say things area a lot better than I expected.
I hope you got my cable O.K., & I shall probably be coming on leave next Tuesday or Wednesday. It should have been this week–end but as it is a Bank Holiday I don’t suppose they will let us travel. At any rate we should have quite a good time as they have organised a Stay at Home
[page break]
holiday here.
Pete Lamb is still on the other side, continuing training, but John Cox is with me
I have met chaps I knew all the way through training at various times, & its interesting to see how they have all ended up.
I’m certainly glad I went on that G.R. course for many reasons, one of which is that, the Canadian pay being twice as much as home here, I was able to completely kit myself out, including 2 uniforms & still have a little cash to spare.
The other reasons are that I saw one of the really nice parts of Canada for a change & the third & most important is that I have quite a fair chance to get on something for which I have
[page break]
always nursed a somewhat optimistic desire.
I don’t know if Harrogate is a particularly lucky town, but I was amazed to see loads of clothes & silk – like stockings in the shops, & smartly dressed men walking about. I was under the impression that people were wearing any old thing.
Another thing that amazed us was the reception people gave us in the places we passed through to get here. Waving, putting flags in the windows & cheering. I’d thought they would be fed up with the sight of uniform by now.
The news is certainly pretty good now, isn’t it. It doesn’t look as though the Italians will
[page break]
stay in much longer
I will send a wire when I know when I’m definitely coming on leave
Love
