During the night of 11 to 12 June 1943, Allied bombers launched a major attack on German cities, including Dortmund, Düsseldorf and Munster. No fewer than 783 aircraft took part in this raid, 38 of which were lost that night. The Lancaster W4791 PH-W, belonging to the 12th Squadron, was hit on its return to England. At around three o'clock in the morning, the aircraft came down in flames and crashed with a dull thud near Paasduin in Wijk aan Zee, killing all seven crew members.
