Party Crashers (http://www.ahevents.org/events/snapshot/snapshot-setups/42-western-european-theatre/75-party-crashers.html)
On returning from a bomber escort mission the Thunderbolts of the 56th Fighter Group drop down to the deck and strafe rows of parked aircraft at Gutersloh airfield. Weak anti-aircraft fire is powerless to bring down any of the attackers, and one after another the gun pits fall silent.
Having landed his force at Halesworth, Hub Zemke, the 56th CO, hastily arranges for a repeat performance to destroy the remaining targets. A few hours later the Wolfpack return laden with bombs, now accompanied by their "neighbours" of the 353rd FG. The Jugs bomb and strafe in squadron order, with the 353rd FG watching over the proceedings. As the 56th climb back to altitude to watch over the 353rd, the better part of II./JG 2 appear on the scene to wreck the party.
