LEIPZIG HAS A HEAVY RAID
Where Wrecked Ruhr Industries Went

[handwritten heading and note:]

LANCASTER. "K"      20:10:43     NO. 15.
LEIPZIG     D.O.T. 7:35

B.D. T.D.  38,T  8,c  64,L.

“Special Recco”
Weather very bad and icing was bad going over.
Bombing very scattered only observed one small fire. Don’t think Leipzig got what it was suppose to. Had to go very close to Berlin on the way in too close in fact for comfort.
