Army Air Corps Bomb Group Mission Orders

[Graphic] The English version.     The following pages contain Operational Order #109 of March 3, 1945. Included also are the weather forecast for Szombathely and for the route to the city the following day, as well as alternate targets, and intelligence and reconnaissance information from Feb. 25 - Mar. 2, 1945.
   The Mission Summary #181, draws together information from the bomber and fighter Mission Narrative Reports of March 4, 1945. Interesting references include the Russian Front, possible Russian aircraft in the area and a POW camp located at Szombathely. (My notations in small type are added for clarification only and are not found in the source documents).

Bevetési Parancsok

[Graphic] The Hungarian version.     A "Bevetési Parancsok" -nak még nincsen magyar változata. Önkéntes forditókra lenne szükségünk, akik egy kis idõt tudnának szentelni egy-egy oldal angolról magyarra való forditására. Amint kész a "Bevetési Parancsok" magyar szövege, rögtön feltesszük erre a web-oldalra .pdf formátumban. Köszönjük honlapunk iránti érdeklõdését, és hálásan megkõszõnnénk a honlap bõvitéséhez való hozzájárulást. Kérjük a kapcsolatba lépést az oldal alján található címen, amelyre rögtön válaszolunk. A "Bevetési Parancsok" angol szövege olvasható a fenti linkre való kattintással.

      This website is dedicated to describing the events of Sunday, March 4, 1945 over the city of Szombathely, Hungary. Footnotes, references and historical documents will be added to the site as translations become available. The readers' interest and help with translations would be most appreciated - in both English and Hungarian.
