RNZAF Ramrod raid on Amsterdam. May 3rd 1943
Ramrod 16 was a daylight bombing raid on the Amsterdam Power station on may 3rd 1943. Sadly it ended in disaster when only 2 of the 12 Ventura bombers returned to base.
This bombing raid has always had my interest as the route the bombers took is roughly the same route I drive to work every day and all crash-sites are within 500 meters of where my family lives or where I work or worked. I decided to take some pictures of what the location look like today, and post it on the forum. edit: Some sources say the operation was "Ramrod 17" in stead of Ramrod 16. Alex
