The fascinating aspect is that Gabreski was flying on the deck over the runway in Bassenheim, Germany...which is DEEP inside Germany between Bonn and Frankfurt.
He was demonstrating that we already owned Germany. They just didn’t know it yet.

I am pretty sure at this point the German high command knew this war was going to be lost. Maybe they thought that at some point the allies would say “enough” and leave Germany intact or something.
