75 Sqn lost four Stirlings that night and of these the crew of F/S B B Wood are buried at Reichswald Forest CWGC. (Stirling EF408, code letter P)


The aircraft was shot down by AA fire 20 km north east of the target and crashed at Gelsenkirchen. The crew was first buried at Bismarck Cemetery before being reinterred.
