BOMB PEENEMUENDE R & D SITE

Because of German propaganda making claims
about the near completion of their secret
weapons V1 and V2, RAF Bomber Command
decided to bomb what was thought the main
research facilities of these programs.
The first raid on the Peenemuende research
site was made on the night of August
17th/18th 1943 by the RAF. The mission was
a success, delaying the development of the
V-weapons for months. Peenemuende was
bombed several times after this raid by
RAF and USAAF right until the end of the
war.


YOUR MISSION

You are leading a flight of 3 B-17s.
The target for your flight group is
the Peenemuende R & D site. The other
two B-17 flights are attacking the near
testing grounds. If it is for some
reason not possible to hit Peenemuende
directly, drop your bombs also on the
testing grounds. Maximum damage in this
area is the mission goal. Due to the
extreme range of the target you have
only two P-38s as escort.
