Re: USAAF Claims 25th February 1944

If you are going to check Bomb Groups I suspect you should look to 15th AF coming from south to Munich.

The 8th AF 3rd Division bombed Regensburg and the 1st Division bombed Augsburg. Neither route should have taken them over Munich and certainly not to the east of Munich.

Regards,

Bill

PS
I would still place my initial bet on Gumm even though he claimed only a damaged.. hits could have severely wounded the pilot but not hard enough to prevent an 'escape'.

On the other hand if you can find the 25 Feb Mission map for 15th AF and the track is on east side or directly over Munich there is an equal probability that he was shot down by them.
