25 October 1944 -- Mission #189 -- Target: Neumunster

25 October 1944

Mission #189

Target: Neumunster

General briefings were conducted at 0545 and 0730 for (32) aircrews for a primary of the airfield near this town and, if PFF, a secondary of the town and the airfield by H2X radar (The ‘Honey-Bucket’). The 576th with Captain Cetin led the Group with briefings for (32) crews given between 0545-0730 hours. All were dispatched beginning at 1000 and the secondary had to be bombed, dropping (356) 500# GPs unobserved due to cloud cover over target. No fighters were seen and flak was meager and inaccurate, no bombers receiving damage. All recovered at Wendling around 1620 hours.
