Geocache Description:

Mosquito over Aarhus. En cache ved Aarhus universitet.

[DK]
Under 2. Verdenskrig havde Gestapo hovedkvarter for Jylland i kollegierne 4 og 5 på Aarhus universitet.
D. 31. oktober 1944 skulle der sættes en stopper for de aktiviteter. Der blev indledt et bombeangreb med 24 Mosquito jagerbombemaskiner fra Royal Air Force.
Kl. 11:55 falder de første bomber. Efter mindre end 10 minutter er det hele overstået og de bygninger der ikke er faldet sammen står i brand. Missionens mål var at ødelægge Gestapos arkiver hvilket også lykkes i stor udstrækning. Det har sandsynligvis reddet en del personer i modstandsbevægelser. Ud over et større antal Gestapo folk, omkom der desværre også en del civile personer under angrebet.
Enkelte andre uvedkommende bygninger blev desværre også ramt, men angrebet regnes for et af de mest præcise bombeangreb under 2. Verdenskrig.
De genopbyggede kollegier 4 og 5, ligger lidt syd for cachen.

Medbring eget skriveredskab.
Dårligt signal i området (6M).
Indhold: Log og FFC

Mosquito
[Eng]
During World War II the Gestapo headquarters for Jutland (west Denmark) was located at Aarhus University, in College 4 and 5.
October 31. 1944 was the day an air rate was lunched to end these activities. 24 Mosquito planes from RAF drub the first bombs at 11:55. The mission was to destroy the Gestapo archives containing information about the Danish resection movement. After 10 minutes it was all over. The target was destroyed and on fire. This air rate probably saved a lot of the members of the Danish resection movement. Unfortunately, in addition to the Gestapo personnel, some civilians were also killed and other buildings ware hit.
The attack is considered to be one of the most accurate bombing during World War II.
The rebuilt colleges 4 and 5, is slightly south of the cache.

Remember to bring a pencil.
