U-boat pens at St Nazaire
The U-boat pens at St. Nazaire looked like this to Flying Fortress and Liberator crews on a raid. Many bursts are seen on the target, also hits on the machine shop works, stores for submarines and railroad yards, all within the target area. At the mouth of the Loire, this former ship-building center which launched the liner "Normandie" can accommodate between 25 and 30 U-boats. Bombs raided on the great U-boats in this raid, the fifth on St. Nazaire in six months. (Photo four of 7) (See for Main Caption) THEATRE #12 -(St. Nazaire, France) BOMBING
