Duke of York's Headquarters targeted by Luftwaffe during World War 2
Map from a former Luftwaffe Navigator ( Mail Online ) dated November 30, 1941 identifying some of the bombing targets in London. The Mail Online has an interesting article about an old map that has recently come to light. The map, which belonged to a Luftwaffe navigator, was found in an attic of a former WW2 air gunner and likely came from a downed Luftwaffe plane. Dated November 30, 1941, the map identifies some of the key targets for the German bombers. One of the targets was the Duke of York Headquarters (numbered #56 in the map at right). The online newspaper notes that "The Duke of York’s headquarters in Kensington was identified because the court martials of German spies Josef Jakobs and Theodore Schurch were conducted in the building." Not entirely sure this would be accurate. Theodore Schurch wasn't court-martialed until later in the war (after 1941) and the location of Josef's court martial wasn't revealed in any of the contemporary newspap
