The report gives the following details, ‘Vectored to attack large enemy formation bombing London docks. Grouped with fighters of 310 and 253 squadron. Together with F/O Dundas we noted a DO 17 trailing smoke with starboard engine feathered away from main formation. Both went in and fired a long burst of D/Wilde closing to approx 200 yds. Noted hits along port F/L as enemy rolled and dropped to 12,000 ft. Heavy smoke and well alight. Followed some three miles and enemy jetisioned bombs which fell in open country side. Decided to not close again as A/C nearly down. No crew seen to leave. Enemy forced landed in farmland. Circled twice but unable to see further activity. Fire appears to be in engine area. R/T for return to base. Enemy A/C possibly 2555. F1+FS. On my return to Base Middle Wallop coming in to land south of Field on approach run and in front at approx. 300 yds, I saw a fire tender with no B/O lights on strip. Full throttle and up but to close to him and unable to avoid. Clipped U/C port when and no response on D/unit so decided to put straight down as rev’s dropped. Heavy landing which pulled me in a 60 dog. Full account to be sent to C.O.’ Punch holes to the side of the document. Some light creases but generally still in good condition. Flying Officer Eugene Tobin was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. He learned to fly in the 1930’s. Originally he came to Europe to fight in the Finnish Soviet war, but this was over by the time he arrived. He wanted to serve against the German’s in France for the French Air Force, but again the German’s had already invaded France before he arrived. He and other Americans he travelled with joined the RAF in 1940. He flew during the Battle of Britain with 609 Squadron and was credited with two shared kills, the one from this combat report and another share of a Bf-110 on 25th August 1940. On 18th September 1940 he was posted to No71 Squadron ‘Eagle Squadron’. On the 7th September 1941, Tobin was killed in action when his Spitfire was shot down over Northern France. He crashed into a hillside near Boulogne-sur-Mer and was buried in Boulogne Eastern Cemetery. He was 24 at the age of his death.

Historically Interesting Luftwaffe Honour Goblet Awarded to Lt. Hasso Mündel, for the Long Range Bombing Mission Against the Hydro Electric Plant at Lochaber in the Scottish Highlands in 1940 and Again in 1941, rare early silver constructed honour goblet with content marking “835” inside of the foot. Maker marked “Joh. Wagner & Sohn”. Very good condition without dents or damage. Hasso Mündel was part of the famous raid on the Hydro Electric plant at Lochaber in the Scottish Highlands. This power plant was designed to provide electricity for aluminium production at Fort William to the north. The existence of such an important site was not lost on the Germans, aerial photographs of it being taken as early as October 1940. The plant was critical to British aircraft production, Lochaber was given target number 7,123, but it was not attacked until 22 December 1940. Being in north-western Scotland, few German aircraft could get there, but the occupation of airfields in Norway made it feasible that the relatively new Junkers Ju 88 had the range. Early on 22 December 1940, a Ju 88 of reconnaissance unit 1. Staffel (Fern)/Aufklärungsgruppe 120 (1.(F)/120) lifted off from Stavanger-Sola. On board were Oblt Siegfried Fidorra (observer and aircraft captain), Lt Hasso Mündel (pilot), Ofw Reinhard Bothe (radio operator) and Uffz Lemberg (gunner).The official report on the attack was filed by the crew the following day and reported to the Luftwaffe high command. It said, “At about 10.00hrs an aircraft of AufklGr 120 (commander Oblt Siegfried Fidorra), flying at low level, successfully attacked the aluminium smelter at Lochaber north-east of Fort William. “The actual attack was preceded by a low-level approach to assess the favourable direction of attack. Then, two SC500 bombs with delayed-action fuses were dropped on the target in two low-level attacks despite light flak defences. The middle of the power station was hit near the entrance of the pressurised water pipe, the other bomb hit the middle of the aluminium plant. The impact of both bombs could be perfectly observed. “The detonation of the bombs initially resulted in heavy fire and smoke. Sometime later, explosions followed with a strong fire, possibly due to water from the pressure pipes entering the furnace house. Afterwards, the whole plant was shrouded in clouds of steam and smoke. “The attacked plant is an aluminium smelter of prime importance. Final assessment of the effect of this attack, which was carefully prepared and executed in cold blood, can be made only on the basis of an aerial photo. However, it appears as if a significant reduction, if not even a standstill, of production has been caused.” The report filled to the Luftwaffe was not accurate. One 500kg bomb landed between the pipes but failed to explode. The second went through the powerhouse roof and landed on a generator, but it too failed to go off. Two workers were in the powerhouse as the bomb hit. The foreman, Johnnie Wilson, elected to use an overhead crane to lift the weapon onto a trolley and then wheel it out —a risky task, as the bomb disposal team told him afterwards. Both 500kg bombs were later successfully defused and the casing of one can still be seen today, preserved and on display inside the power station.As the Ju 88 crew headed for home unscathed, it is believed that they reported seeing 29 merchant ships, 10 patrol boats and 10 flying boats at anchor in Loch Sunart, 45km (28 miles) southwest of Fort William. What they had spotted was convoy EN41/1, which had arrived on 19 December 1940 with 32 ships and three escorts, and convoy EN42/1, made up of seven ships and four escorts, which had reached the loch the day before. The flying boats were all from No 210 Squadron, based at Oban. This was radioed through, and although the British intercepted German messages stating that a reconnaissance aircraft had spotted “a convoy of many large ships (merchant) anchored in the Lynn or Lorn north of Oban”, they failed to prepare the defences for an attack.On 13 March 1941, the same German crew that had attacked on 22 December 1940 — less Uffz Lemberg who had been replaced by Uffz Reiners — returned again, bombing Lochaber during another armed reconnaissance mission. At 15.15hrs, they dropped a single SC500 from an altitude of 600-700m (1,968-2,297ft). The bomb was seen to detonate in the south-western corner of the plant, but its effect was not obvious. Damage was reported as slight, yet German propaganda hailed the attack as another success. After this, three of the Fidorra crew were decorated for their bravery. Siegfried Fidorra received the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold (German Cross in gold) and Lt Hasso Mündel and Ofw Reinhard Bothe the Ehrenpokal (Honour Goblet, in silver).Leutnant Mündel, also German cross in gold recipient, received the goblet on 1.11.41. Mündel was a veteran of the Battle of Britain campaign and was responsible for dropping bomps on the British Aluminium Co. company at Bristol on 22.12.40 flying the Ju 88. Mündel, later part of the long range reconnaissance unit “1(F)/120” was killed in action together with his whole crew in FFäröyne, Norway still flying a Ju 88.

Rare and Historically Important WW2 Special Forces (Special Allied Airborne Reconnaissance Force) Operation Violet Military Medal Grouping Awarded to Sergeant Phillip Potter US Army O.S.S, George VI Military Medal (M.M) on ribbon with brooch pin, awarded to ‘SJT. P. B. K. POTTER. U.S. ARMY.’ Medal is also accompanied by a grouping of his original cloth insignia, which includes his very rare embroidered special forces (S.F) wing, 2x British airborne parachute qualification wings, parachute qualified ‘light bulb’ sleeve patch, sterling silver US army issue jump wings with pin back fitting and red on khaki ‘AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE’ shoulder title, plus other items of cloth insignia. Also with the grouping is a historically interesting original snapshot photograph album compiled by Sergeant Potter and assuming his brother Alan Potter during WW2. The album begins with images in 1943 when he first joined the services and then moves into basic training before quickly moving him into service in North Africa (Libya), then onto Italy before being moved to France, near Limoges, in summer (August 1944). Album has some excellent images from his time near Limoges, including a bridge blown up with the annotation below, ‘Bridge Blown by Creuse Maquis and Allied Agents’. Excellent large image of him and men from his unit wearing the Special Forces wings above British jump wings, stated ‘Before operations against Jerry in Chateauroux. Summer 1944 American Parachutists’. Image of a castle city of Carcassonne, where he states he met with allied agents. Images of battle damage German weapons, German officer POW’s and a large format image of ‘Allied Agents at ceremony of presentation of Croix de Guerre’. Album then has some pictures from Italy campaign at the same time, Summer 1944, these would appear to be taken by his brother Alan. Then more images in France, before moving back to London before Philip’s posting to the Far East in 1945. Album ends with images in Burma taken by Philip Potter and then a page taken by his brother, still in Italy, with images of Cassino (Monte Cassino). The album is well annotated and many of the images are extremely clear and interesting. Overall a superb grouping including a gallantry medal to a member of a very small Allied Special Forces unit. The recommendation for his Military Medal was by Brigadier J S Nichols D.S.O MC Commander SAARF, ‘HQ and HQ Det OSS, US ARMY Attached SAARF - 11121960 Sgt Philip B K POTTER. Sgt POTTER was the W/T Operator in Captain WARFIELD’s Team, one of the six Recce teams operating under my direct command which were dropped by parachute on the night 25/26 April 1945 near ALTENGRABOW P W CAMP Twenty miles EAST of MADGEBURG and fifteen miles behind the enemy lines. This team was dropped on a belt of trees in an area occupied by a German Division and fifteen miles away from the correct DZ. Sgt Potter recovered his W/T equipment and immediately got into communication with this Headquarters – although in imminent danger of capture by the enemy parties searching the area. Together with his team he then moved twenty miles through German Formations to the original target. During the whole of this time and in spite of the great danger and extreme hardships caused by lack of food, rain and cold, Sgt POTTER maintained his communications with complete success and transmitted valuable information. He also took considerable risks in recharging his batteries by a hand generator whilst surrounded by German Troops. I consider this NCO’s conduct outstanding.’ The Special Allied Airborne Reconnaissance Force (SAARF) was set up by the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) in February 1945. They were tasked with being dropped behind enemy lines near prisoner of war camps and slave labour camps to report on the conditions and to prevent atrocities being carried out by the retreating German forces etc. Other duties would involve the hunting down of possibly war criminals. The unit was only involved in one Airborne drop before the unit was disbanded. The unit consisted of just 96 Americans, these mostly came from the US equivalent of the SOE, the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) and members of the allied airborne divisions. Operation Violet, on 25th April 1945, was the code name for the SAARF operation to drop 6 multi-national teams at three different drop zones, to reach the German Prisoner of War camp XI A, near the village of Altengrabow. At the time the camp held some 60,000 allied prisoners of war. The six 3 person teams were to be parachute in, close to Altengrabow behind the German lines, drop 1 was a British team ‘Erasure’, commanded by SOE veteran Major Phillip Worrall and French team ‘Briefcase’ commanded by Pierre Cambon. Drop zone 2 was British team ‘Pennib’ under Major Forshall and US team ‘Cashbox’ under Captain Brown. The final drop zone, drop zone 3 was US team ‘Pencil’ led by Captain Warfield and French team ‘Sealingwax’. Sergeant Potter, was serving in the US team Pencil, as the wireless operator under Captain Warfield. Each drop zone was allotted one RAF transport aircraft to carry the two teams. The teams left from RAF Airfield Great Dunmow, Essex. The operation did not go smoothly to begin with, as the teams missed the drop zones and the heavy presence of German forces in the area resulted with many of the teams being captured, including the British team ‘Erasure’ and resulted in the men being sent to the prisoner of war camp they were sent to observe, Stalag XI A. British officer Major Worrall requested an interview with camp commandant, Oberst Ochemal. Major Worrall explained the mission of SAARF, and with the war looking like it was lost and the Soviet Russians fast approaching, the camp commander eventually cooperated and allowed the SAARF teams to set up communications with SHAEF. On 3rd May 1945, Major General Robert Macon, US army, sent a convoy of trucks into liberate the allied prisoners of war and transport them west, along with the captured German commander and his men. US trucks were sent in with aid and rations. Due to the time taken from the initial landing on the 25th April, for a deal to be done between German commander and US forces, the Soviet army had advanced and they arrived at the camp on 4th May 1945. The area of the camp had been decided, would be in the Soviet controlled zone, so they tried to force authority in the situation, only allowing POW’s from certain nations to be evacuated, they blocked Polish and Italian prisoners from leaving. On 5th May, Major Worrell was told by the soviet commander he only had two hours for his SAARF team to pack up their equipment and leave the camp and return to western allied lines. The tensions between the western allies and the Soviet command was starting to show as the war drew to its close.
