What was ironic about the May 10, 1940 bombing raid?

 

[Smoke]

They hit they're own planes?

 

[B-17engineer]

No, it has to do with the only person killed by the raid

It was Britain bombing Germany

 

[vikingBerserker]

Elephant in the Berlin Zoo?

 

[B-17engineer]

Nope

 

[hawkeye2an]

On that day the Germans were dropping bombs on London and the British were dropping leaflets on Germany.

 

[B-17engineer]

Nope....only 1 person was killed in the raid....Wellingtons attacked German targets. One persoon was killed, what was ironic about this one person.

A British POW ?

 

[B-17engineer]

Not a POW

Here since I really can't give a clue now with out giving it away

It was a British woman who was the only one killed.

H, on May 10, 1940, the only British woman killed in a RAF bombing raid (36 bombers) against Germany was at the railyards of Monchen-Gladbach near Dusseldorf. That was the RAF's first "enemy" civilian casualty and they lost three ships in that raid.
