In two attacks on Shweinfurt the US lost almost 100 bombers without fighter protection. That’s paying for it.

That was some damned dark days for the eighth airforce for sure.I think the 100th Bomb had one plane come back from the first mission.The pilots name was Robert Rosenthal if my memory aint too gone.
