Summary:
|
On this mission the entire 8th Air Force attacked the Railway Station and marshalling yards at Nurnburg in order to interdict the flow of men and supplies being rushed by the Germans in an attempt to halt the advancing Russian Army. The 401st provided three squadrons comprising the 94th Combat Wing "B" Group. Solid undercast again necessitated bombing by PFF (radar) technique, but an exceptionally good run was made. A momentary break in the clouds permitted observation of strikes on the city. No enemy aircraft appeared, and none of the 401st ships sustained battle damage, although moderate flak was experienced over the target area.
