Highest BG-losses by the 8th USAAF was on Sep. 27-1944, The Kassel Mission.
445 BG lost 35 out of 39 B24's, most downed in the Eisenach area by Lw Sturmgruppe fighters within 7 minutes.
US researchers just last month finished a 88 min. very impressive TV/Video-documentary (PAL too), presenting rare camerawork, guncamera-shots of both sides, intervieuws with involved pilots of Lw- and USAAF, German civilians, survivers. etc.
Really interested will get a lead to the US, to the producers by sending a mail to mbr. 8th. USAF Hist. Soc. J. de Swart, NL, (himself not profitable)>>
