Aarhus Air Raid
The Aarhus Air Raid took place on 31 October 1944 by 25 Mosquitoes from the No.140 Wing RAF of the 2nd Tactical Air Force, targeting the Gestapo headquarters at the University of Aarhus.
The Royal Air Force would in the aftermath of World War II point to the mission as the most successful one of its kind during the war.
==Background==
During World War II, Aarhus was occupied by German forces, who had established their headquarters for the Jutland area in the eastern parts of the University of Aarhus. The 577th Volksgrenadier Division was established in Aarhus on 25 August 1944. Its draftees were transferred to the 47th Infantry Division in the September, and the last members left Aarhus on 10 November to fight later on the Western Front.
On 31 October 1944 the Aarhus Air Raid saw a "daring, low-level precision bombing attack" on the Gestapo headquarters in Aarhus by 25 Mosquitoes from the Number 140 Wing of the RAF Second Tactical Air Force. Resistance leader Pastor Harald Sandbæk was being held captive in Aarhus at the time. In Aarhus the Gestapo was headed by Eugen Schwitzgebel; the Sicherheitsdienst, led by Obersturmbannführer Lonechun, and the Abwehr, commanded by Oberstleutnant Lutze, were also based there. A reconnaissance mission had been conducted five days prior to the bombing by 544 Squadron.
