T/Sgt. Armand Fugge's Diary
Engineer/Top Turret Gunner 600th Squadron

Fugge Mission No. 24

18 July 1944
Target: Experimental District
Peenemunde, Germany

July 18, 1944
I was awakened and our target for today were the experimental stations for the flying bomb and hydrogen peroxide distilleries at Peenemunde, Germany on the Baltic Sea north of Berlin.

Caried 10 – 500 lb.G.P. bombs and bombed visually from 24,400 ft. Boy !! I saw the bombs hitting and we really did a neat job. Flak was heavy but it was a little late in getting up to us. No enemy opposition and no planes lost from our wing. Thank God.Only 3 hrs. on oxygen so that wasn’t too bad. Flew the North Sea route.

MISSION # 24 COMPLETED.
