Ah but Martin you are talking about the first Oschersleben raid of 1944, the second disaster was 7-7-44 when the two sturmgruppen unleashed their first rearward attacks against the US 8th and 15th AF's and shot down 55 Allied heavies confirmed. One ZG unit helped but in reality just gave the US fighters something to shoot at while the heavy FW's closed in with the bombers.

Funny Brian was going to do another book on some battles of the 305th bg and the sturmgruppe. a matter that I did send him quite a bit of material on ............ such as life
