That must have made for an eventful day. How far were you from the target? Did you get to witness any of the raid itself.
We were at our school roof play ground eating from our brown lunch bags at 11:00 AM, seeing the planes approx 50 feet above our heads, coming from west heading east and the pilots waving to us, approx five to seven miles west of the target Shellhus. My father owned a fish retail store about five to six blocks west of the French Catholic school and three to four miles from our school!
My two elder brother working with my parents rushed to the bomb site trying to rescue victims out of the rubles, which were a frightening sight I personally visit after school hours. Those sirens you hear in the video is something you never forget, because they would sound in the middle of nights when RAF and USAF were on special missions toward targets in Germany south of us!!
They would cross the North Sea flying over Denmark and turn south many times at the end of German's collapse!!!
