Once more a railroad network was targeted and on this mission the marshalling yards of the city were scheduled for the 392nd. A force of (31) aircrews were briefed at 0730 hours and at 1020 hours, (30) began launch. The target area was visual and bombing was excellent once more with (95) percent of the (276) 500# GPs released falling within a 2000 foot radius of the briefed aiming point. No enemy fighters were sighted, and flak was negligible. All ships returned to base, landing around 1850. As this mission rung to a close, an epochal announcement was made by higher headquarters to all Eighth Air Force bomber units. It was stated that as of this date, strategic targets in Germany no longer existed and hereafter, bombing efforts would be directed in support of the advancing ground troops.
