Operation Oyster – The forgotten raid on the Philips works at Eindhoven – 6th December 1942
On 6th December 1942, No. 2 Group RAF undertook a raid on the Philips Strijp and Emmasingel radio and vacuum tube works in Eindhoven, one of the biggest producers of electronics in Europe at the time. Also known as the Eindhoven Raid, all flying took place at ground level to avoid anti-aircraft defences, with the Bostons, Mosquitos and Venturas successfully knocking out the Philips works for an estimated six months. Tragically however, fourteen British aircraft were lost and 135 civilians were killed.
