10 Jan 1945

Germany
  • The USAAF 306th Bomb Group flying from RAF Thurleigh launched a bombing raid against the airfield at Gymnich, Germany but thick clouds, persistent anti-aircraft fire, and crowded skies pushed the formation off course so that most of their bombs landed on Bliesheim, Germany, eight miles off-target. ww2dbase [Bombing of Hamburg, Dresden, and Other Cities | RAF Thurleigh | Gymnich | DS]

Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."
