The Chemnitz Raid

My grandad was Flight Sargeant 'Bill' George William Green who served with the 582nd Squadron, attached to 101 Squadron during the last year of the Second World War. He was a rear gunner (tail end charlie) on Lancasters, flying out of numerous bases in Lincolnshire. One operation he took part in was the raid on Chemnitz in Germany in 1945, a day after the Dresden fire bombing. He would recall that the bomb run on Chemnitz was like bombing in daylight from the fires from Dresden which was still burning.
