Many of the 8th Air Force Groups produced an unofficial unit history in the months after the war ended in Europe but before they were redeployed out of the ETO (European Theater of Operations).
Resembling a college yearbook, unit histories were an unofficial – and often tongue-in-cheek – record of the unit’s time based in the UK. They include photo montages showing different aspects of base life. Often the servicemen in the photos are unnamed. The American Air Museum hopes that by adding unit histories to the website as individual pages, the men in the photos will be identified and associated to their person entries. Many included lists of personnel and a mailing address, providing a means for servicemen to keep in contact with each other after the war. These lists are now incredibly useful records of where US airmen in England in 1945 called their home.

Description
The industrial areas of Berlin and Genshagen, Germany are the primary targets for this mission. A combined force of 730 heavy bombers are despatched from 1st, 2nd and 3rd Air Divisions. The despatch from 3rd Air Division bombs Targets of Opportunity in the Berlin area. Bomber gunner claims for the entire 3 Division formation were bundled in the source data as being 97-28-60 (probably exaggerated). A total of 69 aircraft Failed to Return, a loss rate of 9.452%. While that loss rate was considered very high, the strategy of attacking high profile targets in order to draw up the Luftwaffe does pay benefits with 179-36-93 of German aircraft claimed. It is not the loss of aircraft that is so devestating to the Luftwaffe but the loss of pilots.
Mission summary follows:
1st Air Division: A force of 262 B-17s from: 91BG; 92BG; 303BG; 305BG; 306BG; 351BG; 379BG; 381BG; 384BG; 401BG; 457BG; and 482BG are despatched. 248 aircraft are effective on Berlin, Germany. 19 aircraft Failed to Return (FTR) - 60KIA 117POW(1DIC) 4EVD 10INT (Sweden). 4 aircraft were Damaged Beyond Repair (DBR) in crashes (3 on return 1 due to pilot error shortly after take off) - 1KIA 3POW (baled out over enemy territory) 1EVD 35RTD. 172 aircraft were damaged. 2 airmen in returning aircraft were KIA and another 8 were WIA.
Bomber gunner claims of 97-28-60 are bundled for all 3 Air Divisions. There are no other losses, casualties or claims in this element.
3rd Air Division: A combined force of 242 B-17s from: 94BG; 95BG; 96BG; 100BG; 385BG; 388BG; 390BG; 447BG; and 352BG are despatched. A total of 226 aircraft were effective on the industrial areas of the following German cities as Targets of Opportunity (TOs) (Source data does not state how many were effective on each target): Templin, Verden, Kalkeberge, Potsdam, Oranienburg, and Wittenberg. 34 aircraft Failed to Return (FTR) - 95KIA 221POW(1DIC) 5EVD 20INT (Sweden). 3 aircraft were Damaged Beyond Repair (DBR) in crash landings upon return - 1KIA 7POW (baled out) 1EVD 31RTD. 121 aircraft were damaged. 1 airman in a returning aircraft was KIA and 15 others were WIA. There are no other losses or casualties in this element.
2nd Air Division: A combined force of 226 B-24s from: 44BG; 93BG; 389BG; 392BG; 445BG; 446BG; 448BG; 453BG; and 458BG are despatched to bomb the aircraft factories at Genshagen, Germany. 198 aircraft are effective on the following targets (source data does not indicate how many were effective on each target: Genshagen (P); Berlin (S) and Potsdam as a Target of Opportunity (TO). 58KIA 82POW(1DIC) 6EVD 4RTD (rescued by ASR) 10 INT (Sweden). 1 aircraft is Damaged Beyond Repair (DBR) when it crashed on take off with a full bomb load and explodes - 10KIA. 5 airmen in returning aircraft are KIA and another 8 are WIA.

Notes
Fighter opposition is some of the fiercest of the war and the 8th Air Force experiences the highest losses for a single day in combat, but the bombers and fighter escorts take a great toll of the Luftwaffe. Groups participating are those of the 1st Bomb Division. Bomber gunner claims for all attacking units are bundled under this element.
457th BG MISSION NO. 8 - BERLIN, GERMANY
6 MARCH 1944
Eighteen aircraft returned to Erkner and the V.K.F. ball bearing works for the third time. Fourteen Combat Wings were dispatched to attack Berlin targets. The Group comprised the 94th Combat Wing's high box. Captain Fred A. Spencer was Air Commander and Lt. J. L. Smith was pilot.
Near Magdeburg the Group encountered heavy and vigorous enemy fighter opposition, principally by Me-210s, Me- 109s and Ju-88s. Two crews, those of Lt. Roy E. Graves and Lt. Eugene H. Whalen, were lost during the encounter. Lt. Whalen, flying in the high box, was a victim of a German Me-109 fighter; his aircraft exploded and fell into the low box, crashing into Lt. Graves. Only the tail gunner of the Graves crew survived.
On reaching the IP, the groups formed in trail. When the Wing Leader dropped bombs the 457th lead plane did not observe the lead group's release. On withdrawal from the target a bomb run was made on the oil refinery at Verden, near Bremen. Results were poor.
Antiaircraft opposition was heavy in the Berlin area. In addition to the two planes lost, five aircraft sustained damage from flak and one other sustained fighter damage. Crews reported observing a total of thirteen bombers in the Division formation being shot down.
Sixty-nine bombers were lost in the day's operation.
