Summary:
|
The 401st provided three Boxes, comprising the 94th Combat Wing "B" formation. The target, a large marshalling yard just north of Strasbourg, controlled a huge amount of traffic supplying German troops in the invasion area. While broken clouds were encountered in the target area, bombing was done visually, with results ranging from good to excellent. No enemy aircraft were reported, and no flak was encountered over the target. However the Group experienced some flak over Aachen on the return; seven ships received battle damage, one of them major.
