Grave 4. C. 13-19. Germany Epitaph: IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR DEAR SVEND. EVER REMEMBERED, EVER LOVED | Paradie Archive Database | Enlisted in the RCAF in July 1941. To England March 1943 426 Squadron as an Airframe Mechanic (ground crew). Applied for aircrew duties. ‘Very keen to follow in brother’s footsteps who had just completed tour of Ops as F/Eng.’ Posted to 1659 CU. He finished training on 10 October 1943, and joined the crew of Fg Off. J. M. Grieve (J/22270) for flying training. The crew was posted to 427 Squadron for operational duties on 8 November, and he carried out his first operation on 26–27 November 1943, Stuttgart. On 3–4 December, Sondergaard and his brother were briefed for a raid on Leipzig. A. C. Sondergaard’s crew was first of the two over target, observing a number of scattered target indicators and flares on arrival. The bomb load was released at 03.58 hours, and the crew dropped two target indicators just after. At this point, the bombing appeared scattered. Minutes later, Sondergaard’s crew arrived over the target area and bombed at 04.13 hours. The bombing seemed well concentrated, but the cloud cover made observation impossible. The Pathfinders had marked the target accurately, and the bombing was, as it turned out, effective. The result was the most successful raid on Leipzig during the entire war. Both brothers returned to safely to base. On 20–21 December, the target was Frankfurt. Frankfurt. 650 aircraft, 41 losses (6.3%). The German controllers were able to accurately plot the route as soon as the main force left the English coast and were therefore able to deploy night-fighters at many points along its route. A diversionary raid on Mannheim failed to draw off many fighters until the main raid was over. The target was mainly cloud covered whereas the forecast had predicted clear conditions. Marking did not, therefore, go to plan. The Germans used both decoy fires and also decoy target indicator. By a twist of good fortune, considerable creepback resulted in the bombing coming back over the city. Many public and municipal buildings were hit including many schools. 23000 people were bombed out of their homes. Three Danes were part of the raid: Fg Off. Niels Erik Westergaard and both Sondergaard brothers. This was Sondergaard’s final operation. The crew failed to return. Halifax V LK644/ZL-C took off from RAF Station Leeming at 16.15 hours, and nothing was heard from the crew following take off. The crew of seven was killed. Shot down by a night-fighter flown by Hptm. Martin Becker and crashed at Weilmünster/Hessen. Several crews from the squadron were either attacked by or observed enemy fighters, and crews reported intense flak opposition and search lights. Sondergaard’s Halifax was one of forty-one aircraft lost in the operation. Son Of Christian And Kirstine Sondergaard, Of Ponoka, Alberta, Canada. Younger brother of Andrew Christian Sondergard, DFC, who served in 405 Sqn. The family emigrated to Canada in 1929. | ||||||
