Re: Fw./Lt. Günther Jahn, JG 2

There is a book avaiable online on the Second Infantry Regiment, Fifth Infantry Division, that was in Cormolain area on this date.

Here is what is written:
"On July 24, the skies had cleared sufficiently to permit the enemy to break out some of his fighters. The Regimental CP underwent a strafing attack by a force of about 12 Fw-190's and ME-109's. At least four of their number were brought down by friendly AA and fighters. The raid had been fruitless, for a counting of noses proved that no damage had been done and no casualties suffered."
