The factory complexes of Gebruder Bühler, GmbH, and the Otto Hänsel plants were mis-identified in the reconnaisance photo as the Rhenannia-Ossag plant, the intended target.  Above, smoke from the 486A squadron is barely visible at the top of the photo, left of center.  Explosions from the 486B squadron are seen just below the top edge, center.
