Debrief notes.
§ Group Debrief
A short troop-support mission just over the German lines to the Rheine marshalling yards — 800 nautical miles round-trip at 22,000 feet in -31°C air. Two German transport aircraft were the only enemy presence observed. Flak was confined to the target and was meager; GH system bombing results were very good. The crew was back on the ground in under six hours.
