THE WOLFPACK
by Robert
Taylor
|
|
On 26 November, 1943, the Republic P-47s of the 56th Fighter Group were tasked to
escort B-24 Liberators of the 392nd Bomb Group on a dangerous mission to attack the heavily defended industrial and
dockyard facilities in the German port of Bremen. Zemke knew the Luftwaffe would be waiting for them as they approached the
target, and they were – in force! It was to become a day of high drama. With the Luftwaffe throwing all the fighters they
could muster at the American heavy bombers,a massive aerial battle ensued. In the running dogfights high over Bremen, the
“Wolfpack” claimed their most successful action of the war with 23 confirmed kills, 3 probables, and 9 damaged, creating an
all-time record in the European Theatre. The 392nd’s B-24 Liberators could not have been in safer hands on that eventful
day.
