    "On 05.09.1943 at about 19:30 hrs a four-engined Halifax bomber of 10 Squadron Royal Air Force, registration JD322 ZA-V, took off from RAF Melbourne Air Force Base, in the county of Derbyshire, Great Britain with the mission to carry out an attack on Ludwigshafen/Mannheim. As part of a bomber stream of over 600 aircraft, this was one of the worst attacks on the two cities in World War II."

    The crew of Halifax JD322 consisted of two Canadians ✝️✝️ and five ✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️ Englishmen.

    The plane was hit south of Mannheim. Possibly first by pilot OFw (Oberfeldwebel) Richard Launer and Uffz (Unteroffizier) Schramm, in combination with anti-aircraft guns (shot officially confirmed by anti-aircraft unit Mannheim) over Mannheim-Neckarau. The flight ended on a field near Waldsee, Rhineland-Palatinate.
