London, Dec 28: English-speaking German women, equipped with knives, are being dropped by parachute inside the American lines, according to The Daily Paragraph’s Paris correspondent, who quoted “reports from an area near the First Army front.” Seven are said to have been arrested and to have confessed that their mission was to seduce American soldiers and then kill them, the correspondent said.

8th AF Mission #760; Dec 24th 1944 - Largest Bomber Mission In History
Dec 24th 1944 saw a change in the weather that had crippled allied missions over Western Europe, and aided the German Ardennes offensive. A ridge of high pressure now dominated and cleared the skies.
The 8th AF dispatched a record 2046 B17’s and B24’s of which 1884 bombed their targets. Objectives were airfields, railyards and communications centers (usually small towns that had roads or rail lines going through them).
1st BD dispatched 542 B17’s and hit 5 primaries and 4 secondaries
2nd BD dispatched 634 B24’s and hit all 14 primaries.
3rd BD dispatched 858 B17’s and hit 6 primaries, 3 secondaries and a scattering of TO’s
Only 12 bombers were lost.
The escorting fighters were also active; 853 (almost all P51’s) dispatched with 813 effective. For the loss of 10, they claimed 74.
