ah yes the bog battle over Kassel when all 3 SturmFw gruppen attacked what a mess for the 445th bg, losing over 30 B-24's and hundreds killed and captured. The bomb group would have ceased to exist if the Yellowjackets had not come to the rescue and pursue SturmFw' and Bf 109G-6's of JG 4 and JG 300. IV.Sturm/JG 3 attacked first and got clean away and shot down 17 of the B-24's confirmed..........I am supplying the German acct's for a book being produced through the 445th bg.

Remember Oskar Romm's account quite vividly when he described his shootdowns of 3 B-24's......arg it was terrible what the Minengeschoos rounds could do.
