55th FG/ 355th FS P-38 loss
On 7 January 1944 P-38's from the 55th Fighter Group, 338th Fighter Squadron escorted bombers on a raid to Ludwigschafen. During the action Major Werner Schroer (Stab II./ JG27) managed to shoot down two of the escorting P-38's. One of the P-38's was flown by Joseph Marsiglia. Marsiglia was able to bail out over enemy territory and was he was later captured near the town of Holz. His aircraft crashed not far from this location in a wooded area near Riegelsberg. Does anyone have info. on what Marsiglia's rank was at the time and if possibly info. on his P-38, work number etc.? Also any info. on the other P-38 shoot down, presumably also from the same unit and credited to Schroer. Time of the losses listed as 12:07 and 12:20. Any info. on the bomber force would be very helpful as well. Many thanks Jeremy
