The British bomber crews had intended to bomb the Haagse Bos where the Germans had installed V-2 launching facilities that had been used to attack English cities. But the pilots were issued with the wrong coordinates so the meteorological instruments of the bombers had been set incorrectly, and fog and clouds obscured their vision. The bombs were instead dropped on the Bezuidenhout residential neighbourhood.
