Another crew reported three large Bres which they saw for 25 minutes after leaving the city and even then they were only lost sight of because of cloud.
There were fires in all parts of the city in the industrial suburbs as well os in the centre. Some idea of the defences of Berlin and what” some British crews had to face is given by the story of a Manchester, whose crew avalded five enemy fighters, on the way to Berlin,
