The ordnance works in this once fiercely defended city, located southeast of Nuremburg, was targeted for this raid. The Group was committed for (31) sorties and at 0530 hours, all crews began briefing. At 0830, all Group bombers began launch in good weather, and found excellent visual conditions on the bomb run. A total of (332) 500# and 1000# bombs were impacted squarely on the MPI with superior results - some (98) percent hitting within the 2000 foot circle of the target. Though no enemy fighters were encountered, flak in the target area was moderate and accurate causing damage to (8) returning bombers. All crews returned safely to base around 1730 hours.
