The Story

Late summer of 1944. A westbound German train just north of the Ruhr, receives a warm welcome by Hawker Typhoons of 438 Squadron, RCAF. During this period, Allied fighters dominated the skies of Europe, seeking targets. There was nothing more inviting for Typhoons than a train carrying troops and munitions to the front. Such train always received an immediate and devastating response from these heavily armed fighters, flown by brave pilots who daily experienced heavy flak. This was particularly dangerous to low-flying aircraft. However, Typhoons were used to great effect, bringing the German war machine to a virtual standstill with respect to movement of war material.

This particular train has just left a tunnel, but at the wrong moment. Immediately spotted by the Typhoons, it is immobilized first with bombs aimed at the track ahead and behind it, then with cannon fire into the locomotive. In moments, the rail cars will be exploding and ablaze
