Re: Marauder B-26 Targets?
B - 26s were attacking tactical targets during these two months in support of 3 Allied AAF Operations " Clarion " , "Grenade" and "Varsity".
3 main goals were 1) Interdiction of the Rhine - Bridges and Marshalling Yards 2) Destruction of Supplies - ordnance depots , transport depots etc. 3) Close cooperation with Ground Forces - communication centers ,
troop concentrations , barracks , transportation.
For a detailed account of this period and the History of the 9th AF , get book " The 9th AF in WW II " by Kenn Rust. Excellent book! I have it and use it a lot. Let me know if I can be of any help.
Cheers,
Mike
