Re: Questions on 8th AF Swinemünde raid on 12 March 1945
Juha - I do not think there was a 'strafing ban' placed on 8th AF FC until April 11 (for two days). No strafing meant that nobody was enthusiastic about trying to get to the deck when German light AA would have perfect altitude fuzing info!
The cloud cover was described as 10/10. The 355th escorted 2nd BD B-24s and notes that the target was bombed at 1205 - implying the lead bomb group/wing dropped at that time.
Regards,
Bill
