Last night our heaviest force of
bombers so far attacked Ludwigshafen
and Berlin. It was the strongest
force ever sent to Germany.
This morning American heavy
bombers went to Western Germany.
Last night's attacks were carried
out simultaneously and 33
bombers are missing which is a
small percentage of the large forces
employed. Mines were also laid
in enemy waters. Large fires were
started in Berlin. Ludwigshafen
was also bombed last Wednesday.
In Italy the weather is our worst
enemy. Rivers are flooded, bridges
washed away and rain falling.
Our medium bombers attacked
railway targets 80 miles N of Rome
and also Terni as well as transport
in the battle area and camps
further away back in Italy.
Trains were also bombed and
shot up in Yugoslavia. American
Mitchells have also bombed
Larissa airfield between Athens
