Operation Hermann edit
Can the relevant page for Operation Hermann get de-linked from that one so an article on that can be properly created and worked on? I'd do it but honestly I get lost when it comes to moving and de-redirecting pages.radek (talk) 21:21, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
- The operation was still known as 'Operation Hermann' in some English-language publications until some time in the 1970's until the correct German name 'Bodenplatte' became more widely known. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.55.68 (talk) 18:35, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
Missing references edit
Hi everybody. There are some references (Caldwell 1991, Price 2001, and maybe others I didn't notice) that do not correspond to any book in the bibliography... anyone able to fix that? --M.L.WattsAir Mail ✈ 18:11, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
- No, wait :) I found Caldwell 1991 in German and Allied order of battle for Unternehmen Bodenplatte, even though Price 2001 is still missing --M.L.WattsAir Mail ✈ 18:42, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Melsbroek 140 Squadron RAF
The suggestion that 140 Squadron lost all of its aircraft cannot be correct as at least 11 aircraft are listed in the Operations Record Book as carrying out sorties before and after 1 Jan 1945. A few might have been with 34WSU during the attack but not all. Four aircraft were written off. Two sorties were flown around midday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.137.58.249 (talk) 22:41, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- IIRC, Melsbroek had a number of visiting Lancasters, Dakotas, and a B-17 that had made precautionary landings there after being damaged in operations over Germany, and several of these were destroyed in the attack. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.55.68 (talk) 18:18, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
