The cities his crew were sent to bomb were Jülich, Münster, Opladen, Trois-Dorf, Hanover, Hanau, Saarbrücken, Grevenbroich, Magdeburg, Stuttgart, Osterfeld, Monheim, Würms, Essen, Kamen, Mainz, Cologne, Chemnitz, Hemmingstedt, Dortmund, Wuppertal, Castrop-Rauxel, Rheine, Dorsten, Gladbeck, and Hamburg. Some of these were bombed twice.
