Wow!!!
I am really excited about this update!!

Today I rec'd an email form the President of the Ten Post historical Society! He did exhaustive research for me on this subject! Here is some of the content of the email he sent me!!

I searched in the archives from the municipal Ten Boer and the provincial war archives, I found nothing.
After that I found a book: (translated) "with the look up". In the book I read: on 11 october 1941, saturday at 22.45, a bomb fell behind Graslanden, which made an enormous damage.

So it looks like the picture has the wrong date on it!! It's 1941!!! Maybe the Rogue's here can find a definite flight record for that day! On the rest of the email......

East of this farm fell another 7 bombs.
One cow died and another had to be killed.
Seven houses in the nearby had glassdamage.

Nearby the Graslanden lives a farmer: Henderikus Kooistra, he was'nt born yet at the time of the bombing, but heard the story ofter enough and knows a lot of it. Together with him I visited Graslanden.
In the back wall from Graslanden is a memorial stone with the year 1941 (see picture)



So we can be 100% sure that the bombs did'nt fell on 11 october 1942, but on saturdaynight 11 october 1941!
The specific airplane flew from south-west to nord-east, the first bomb fell 5 metres from the back wall after the plan flew over the farm.
In totally there fell 7 or 8 bombs, a few in the direction from Ten Post.
There is a story that in the third crater from a bomb a car was shoved in by blacksmith Woldhuis, after they took off everything useable. That way they prevent they had to give their car to the Germans.

I'm hoping that the new date will reveal alot of info as far as the flight records!

Thanks in advance for your help!!
