Air/Gnr: Sgt. Bertram Charles John White 1339032 R.A.F.V.R. Age ? Killed

REASON FOR LOSS:

Took off at 21.20 hrs from RAF Pocklington to attack the town of Stettin 600 miles from England and one of the furthest targets for Bomber Command. Weather was good with a full moon and no cloud so target markers were accurate, resulting in the total devastation of the centre of the town. The attack took place between 00.59 hrs and 01.45 hrs. German reports at the time state that 13 Industrial units and 380 houses completely destroyed. A large chemical plant was also hit halting all production. 586 people were killed on the ground.
