sites of german aircraft of world war 11?

February 3, 1940 - FIRST AIRCRAFT SHOT DOWN

(Whitby)

The first enemy aircraft to be shot down in Britain during World War Two has been brought down near Whitby. The aircraft, a German Heinkel, was one of a number seeking out a convoy of British ships steaming along the North Sea coast.

like the Great War of 1914-18, the Second World War caused a huge loss of life among men of the region who were fighting abroad, and it also placed a great demand on the manufacturing industries back home. Many lives were lost in the North-East, where the gr eat industrial centres of the Tyne, Tees and Wear were a constant victim of the bombing raids of German aircraft. Even non-industrial cities like York were in danger and were targetted specifically because of their rich heritage in the so-called ‘Baedeker raids’ aimed at demoralising the British nation by the destruction of its history.

August 1940 - NORTH-EAST RAID

On August 13, German aircraft start bombing British airfields and on August 15, German Air Fleet 15 begins raiding the North of England from its bases in Stavanger, Norway, and Aalborg, Denmark. Most of the targets lie between the Tyne and the Humber and German aircraft have to fly 400 to 450 miles to reach them. The first wave of bombers is intercepted off the Farne Islands by 12 Spitfires from RAF Acklington in Northumberland. The German bombers had planned to fly across the coast south of the Tyne on their way to attack the North Yorkshire airfields, but they make a navigational error. The Spitfires are assisted by Hurricanes and the force of German bombers is broken up. Some bombers hit Newcastle and Sunderland but they are forced home after further air assistance from Catterick and Usworth. A second wave of German bombers crosses the coast at Flamborough Head and causes severe damage to RAF Driffield, although many bombers are shot down. These are the first of many raids across the region.

1941 - GOODS STATION BOMBED

(Newcastle)

Newcastle Goods Station is severely destroyed in a bombing raid. Railway stations, engineering works, iron and chemical works are major targets. The Germans make detailed plans and aerial reconnaissance photographs of industrial sites on the Tyne, Wear and Tees which they intend to bomb.

WHO EVER SAID THE LUFTWAFFE DIDN'T BOMB THE NORTH OF ENGLAND IS OBVIOUSLY A SOUTHERNER, WHERE DO YOU THINK THE INDUSTRIAL HEARTLAND OF ENGLAND IS, AND THE NORTH EAST WAS A HUGE TARGET ESPECIALLY, FOR IT'S COAL PRODUCTION.

YOU WOULD HAVE TO TRY LOCAL HISTORICAL SOCIETIES FOR THE DOWNED PLANE SITES, BUT HOPE THIS HELPS A LITTLE.

The invaders lost 21 plane and crews, the defenders nil. Luftflotte 5 were so significantly mauled that it did not fly back in the conflict.

I don't know about aircraft but there is Fort How in Gainsville Texas which was a POW camp

Doubt they got that far, they're main target was London, the south of England and to a lesser extent: the East (East Anglia). They were lucky to get that far without running out of fuel .

Let me know when World War XI breaks out so I know to hide.

lmao there's bin 11 world wars?
