At about 0840 hrs a flying bomb passed over the Bn area going West.


Shortly afterwards it was engaged by AA fire, which turned it round and it disappeared in a South Easterly direction.


Several V2s were seen going off during the early hours of the morning, but nothing much of interest happened during the hours of darkness.


Visibility during the day was fair and OPs saw movement in 9018, 9118 and in the VELDEN area.


Again there was Gun, Mortar and Nebelwerfer activity in the WANSSUM, BLITTERSWIJK area.


One civilian was found in a house at 896153, who had just swum the MEUSE. He gave some fairly useful information about enemy positions, in HASSELT area.


Shortly after 2000 hrs the Steam Tram was heard in LOMM.
