Thanks November4.
I knew about the details of his loss, but I didn't know about the effect(iveness) of the raid itself. It seems as if he was a part of a very successful raid, in Allied terms at least. He was lost on the return leg as I understand it, so at least he got to do his bit.
I have to say that the account of the raid from Mulheim's perspective is rather sobering reading too. There are no winners in war.
