Welcome all!!!



Historical Background:

"No bomb shall fall on German soil" was the arrogant claim made by Reich marshal Hermann Goering before the start of World War II. Only a couple of years later Goering said "If an enemy bomber ever appears over Berlin you can call me Meier". This took place on March 6, 1944 when the 8th Air force appeared over the German capital. The losses were high, but these daylight raids took their toll on German morale and disrupted the military machine of the 3rd Reich. This first encounter pitted the 8th's B-17's escorted by P-47's of the 56th Fighter Group against the Fw 190's of JG II. They met head on over 25,000 feet, the 190's tearing through the bomber formations and the Thunderbolts racing to aid their countrymen.
