Oberreifenberg after attack

Pictures of the Oberreifenberg G-jamming station before and after a strafing and bombing attack by the 362 Group on 13 March 1945. With only 200 feet between the top of the hill and a cloud base the Thunderbolts dropped their delayed-action 1,000 lb bombs so effectively that the station was almost completely destroyed. The primary beneficiaries were Ninth Air Force medium bombers who had long been bothered by jamming from this unit.
