All were uninjured, powerful men over 6 ft tall. Each had a signed photo of Adolf Hitler in their tunic. All were dead, killed by the air blast from a Typhoon rocket. The Bristol Beaufighter was a long range twin engine heavy fighter derived from the Bristol Beaufort torpedo bomber but with the 1600 hp Bristol Hercules radial engine to give it a top speed 50 mph faster. By late 1942 the Beaufighter was also capable of carrying torpedoes or rockets. The main user was RAF Coastal Command although it was also used in the Royal Australian Air Force with some aircraft assembled in Australia and by the USAAF. Over 30 Beaufighters flying from RAF Dallachy in Scotland from Australian, British, Canadian and New Zealand squadrons attacked the German destroyer Z33 sheltering in Førde Fjord Norway. They were escorted by only 10 to 12 North American P-51 Mustangs. German destroyers escorted convoys of Swedish iron ore, which in winter were forced to creep along the Atlantic Coast by night, hiding deep inside fjords by day. Z33 was moored close to the vertical cliffside of the fjords so Beaufighters had to attack singly with rockets without the normal tactic of having simultaneous attacks by other Beaufighters firing cannon at the numerous flak gunners. Twelve Focke-Wulf Fw 190s surprised the Mustangs and Norway's biggest ever air battle was soon raging. Nine Beaufighters and one Mustang were lost as were five Fw 190s. The destroyer was damaged and February 9, 1945 became known as Black Friday. Typhoons were involved in one of the worst tragedies at the end of the war, when four squadrons attacked the luxury liners SS "Deutschland" and the SS "Cap Arcona" and two smaller ships SS "Athen" and SS "Thielbek" moored off Neustadt in Lübeck Bay The "Cap Arcona" had 4,500 concentration camp inmates and the "Thielbek" another 2,800 as well as SS Guards. The "Deutschland" had a Red Cross flag painted on at least one funnel. The previous day the Captain of the "Cap Arcona" refused to take any more inmates on board. On return to shore in long boats they were gunned down by Hitler Jugend, SS Guards and German Marines. Of an estimated 14,500 victims in the area two days earlier only 1,450 survived. The Hawker Tempest was a development of the Typhoon using the thin wing with an aerofoil developed by NACA and a more powerful version of the Napier Sabre engine, giving a top speed of 432 mph.
