Multiple Allied streams are detected heading in over Holland and the North Sea. After the recent poor showing by our nightfighters Stab XII.Fl.Kps. is determined to bring down more bombers. This night more nightfighter sorties are flown than on any previous night (214 total).
 
The streams meander over northern Germany and in across the sea but it looks like they are going to converge on Hamburg. Even though the target area is identified relatively quickly and fighters are already in the streams the weather looks like it is going to hamper our efforts. Small gaps in the cloud appear over Hamburg and some of the more experienced pilots are able to engage but on the whole the results are disappointing. 57 bombers are bought down (16 by flak), this is just not good enough. Hamburg burns again.
 
FuG 202 is practically useless now. FuG 212 gave some of contacts (22 total) but only 3 of these were converted to engagements (visual) because of the thick cloud.
 
We hear that Kammhuber is to see "Fatty" to answer for his failure to destroy the British, rumour has it he is to be stripped of his command and sent to the Arctic. It appears he is to be made a scapegoat for failures of those above him. The usual story.
