Bad Homburg GEE jamming station destroyed
At March 3rd 1945 12 P-47’s of XIX TAC of the 9th USAAF, each carrying two 1000 pound bombs, have destroyed
a German jamming station for GEE at ‘Hill 880’ near Bad Homburg in Germany. The leader reported: ”Fifteen direct hits. Target ⅔ destroyed. Column of smoke and flame 1000 feet high from building north of tower, strafed after attack.“ The 72nd Wing RAF reported the interference ceased abruptly at the time of the attack. Until now we have not been able to identify the unit(s) involved in this operation. Does anyone know which US Fighter Group or Fighter Squadron(s) was (were) in this operation? The information above is from an unknown magazine or book published shortly after the war. Jaap Woortman Study Group Air War 1939-1945
