British sources attributed much of the RAFs cost to the attackers to the bright moon aiding night fighters and ground defenses. Kassel, 90 miles northeast of Frankfurt, housed Europe’s largest Henschel locomotive works and other factories Daimler Benz engines and Messer schmitt fighters. While bombers struck, fighters patrolled Nazi-occupied France with reports of naval clashes in the English Channel and Kattegat.
