I always found this hard to believe. Although it was my understanding that by the time they entered the ETO, most of the Luftwaffe was already decimated and barely able to offer any resistance. The questions is, what took out those 20 bombers?
"The questions is, what took out those 20 bombers?"
Perhaps AAA or jets.
most of the bombers were lost to flack,still the fact is that they flew 200+ missions with no losses to enemy fighters(according to a blurb on the military channel)
AP's motto should be we never turn down a chance to denigrate our military so I would be skeptical of this article
flak, i'd say.
