"Da 1. gruppe i meget lav højde indfløj over Godsbanegården kl. 11.20 ramte Wing Commander
Kleboes fly et tårn med projektører, blev slået ud af kurs og styrtede ned ved Den Franske Skole på Frederiksberg. Røgudviklingen fra denne nedstyrtning fik 7-8 fly fra de to efterfølgende grupper til at
bombe Frederiksberg i stedet for Shellhuset, der på dette tidspunkt stod i lys lue efter 1. gruppes nøjagtige angreb." (FAF)

"When 1. group at a very low altitude flew in over the goods yard at 11.20 Wing Commander Kleboe´s plane hit a tower with floodlight projectors, got off course and crashed at The French School on Frederiksberg. The smoke from this crash made 7-8 planes from the next two groups bomb
Frederiksberg instead of the Shell Building, which at this time had burst into flames after the precise attack by 1. group." (FAF)
