Re: 1945: Schrägwaffen effectiveness
appreciate that Skipper.........was just now reading through the 428th sq memory the Geyser Gang, the 428th fs moved into Langensalza ( R-2) at the end of April 1945 and although plenty of cleanup of German LW craft and junk was there they gladly moved their P-38's within the hangers on the field. when they arrived besides the many Ju 88G-6's abandoned but at least 6 Shermans from the 6th armored were also left shot up and tracks blown off as the photos suggest. I know mqany P-61's from the 422nd nfs were also here in April of 45 and do not know if they were able to acquite hangers for their mounts or not.
