Re: bombing of the barn, my Dads story
a few things don't add up, when I think about it. Bombers on mining missions, like on 10/11-11-1942, carried mines, and I think a very limited number and not bombs. I am no expert but the damage doesn't seem to me to be caused by a mine.
Second, if the incident took place shortly before the liberation we talk about half way through April 1945. I am not sure, but I don't think the nachtjagd was able to play any significant role then. Wasn't it next to non-existent by then? What are the chances of German night fighters attacking a plane over northern Holland in April 1945? Erich?
A mossie could be the answer, as we don't know how many bombs were dropped. I get back to the Ten Post Historical Society...
