Two people were killed at Truro Railway Station, 10 people were killed at the hospital and 2 more were killed at Agar Road, a total of 14 persons. 65 were injured and over 100 houses were damaged. Three houses were demolished. No enemy aircraft were intercepted by RAF fighters, none were shot down and all the air raid warnings had come too late. Overall the 10/JG2 Jabo still very much had the upper hand
