New Tampa Regional Library, 10001 Cross Creek Boulevard
FREE
Renee Polmear from the Kassel Society will discuss the United States Army Air Corp 445th Bomb Group's tragic bombing mission to Germany.
On September 27 1944 in just over three minutes, 25 B-24’s with crews of at least 9 men each, went down in a forest in central Germany, resulting in the biggest loss in history for a bomb group in a single battle. Only 4 of 35 B-24’s made it back to the base at Tibenham, England. A video will also be presented, questions will be welcome.
