"Bomber Command's main target on the night of 13th/14th. March 1941 was Hamburg. Several altern ative targets were attacked but there was no raid on Cologne that night. Six aircraft failed to return from these operations, one of them a Wellington Mk.1C Serial No.N.2746 belonging to No. 214 Squadron (his aircraft). This aircraft was shot down by a night fighter near the German border, all but one of the creew being killed and buried in Esserveld Cemetery, Groningen, Holland; it is not known which target it had attacked.
