Leber in the lead ship, 37 of our aircraft participated in the Dec. 9 attack on the railway marshalling yards at Stuttgart. The weather was bad from the German border on in, although the clouds began to break in the target area. The bombing run was begun on instruments, but the breaking clouds permitted a last-minute visual bombing. Results were unobserved, although on ball turret gunner reported a “good- looking pattern in the marshalling yards”. There were no Luftwaffe representatives in the skies but there was stiff ground opposition in the target area. The flak was described as moderate and accurate. One of our aircraft failed to return. Nine of our ships came back with major battle damage. One of the returning aircraft, its hydraulic system shot out, landed with a parachute out as a brake. There were two wounded aboard: T/Sgt. Rafae C. Larsen, 532nd radio operator, was hit by flak fragments in the back and right shoulder and died at Braintree Hospital two days later; and T/Sgt. Jacob P. Kaluza, top turret gunner, who received penetrating wounds in the loin and lacerations of the left arm. The missing ship was reported down at 1715 near Nancy. There were five casualties: S/Sgt.

The mission was Number 221 for the Group. 532nd BS diary entry: The target for today was the marshalling yard at Stuttgart, however due to 8/10th cloud over the target, bombing was done by PFF with visual assist. Results unobserved. The only flak encountered was moderate, inaccurate, tracking and black in the target area.

T/Sgts Larson and Kaluza of Lt Lazar's crew were seriously wounded. 533rd BS diary entry: Nine bombers of the 533rd took part in today's attack on the marshalling yards in the Unterturkheim district of Stuttgart. Lt Col Harry P. Leber, Jr., the 381st commander led the formation, in a 533rd ship 44-8175, flown by Capt Ewing S. Watson. The weather was bad from the German border to the target, but a last minute break in the clouds permitted a visual bomb run. One ball turret gunner reported a good concentration on the target; flak was heavy and six ships of the formation reported major battle damage. One 535th ship force landed in France. Today's other pilots were: Lts Baker, Tolchinsky, Pearce, Kinney, Privett, Goldin, Roush and Riza.

Sgt Broslawsky returned to duty from DS; four ground EM returned from furlough. 534th BS diary entry: Railroad marshalling yards at Stuttgart, Germany were attacked by 8 of our aircraft today. Due to 5-6/10ths clouds over the target, bombing was done by P.F.F. with visual assist. Results were reported as unobserved. No enemy fighter aircraft were sighted and flak was reported by crewmen as being moderate, accurate, tracking. This fire was encountered in the area of the target. The formation was led by Captain Jones and Lt. Gew. Pilots participating were: Lts. Thorndike, Unsworth, Slavik, Schilling, Lynch, Sentner and Marelius. Our squadron was low in the Group formation. 535th BS diary entry: Col Leber led our group of 37 Fortresses to a PBO bombing of the Unterturkheim railway marshalling yards at Stuttgart today. The formation met moderate but accurate flak which wounded six men, one known to be seriously, but none in our squadron. Weather began fouling at the German border and continued increasingly bad until in the target area. It was uncertain until the very last minutes whether instruments or visual technique would be used at bombs away. Only a few men cared to make any comment on bombing results, generally obscured by broken overcast. However, S/Sgt James C. Smith, ball turret on Lt O'Connor's "Pair of Queens", reported seeing tight patterns bursting red, sending up thick smoke from the yards. No enemy aircraft were encountered and our escort was there all the way, but a late report has Lt Clark and crew on "Boulder Buf", down near Melun, with five wounded aboard. No details yet. Participating today were: Todd (with Stallings), Beine, O'Connor, Springmeyer, Thornton, Malleus, Clark, Robuck and McGriffin. 8th AF diary entry: 2 missions are flown.

  • The Path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR for More Than 600 Years, a Unique Network HANSA of Merchants Existed in Northern Europe
    The path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR For more than 600 years, a unique network HANSA of merchants existed in Northern Europe. The cooperation of this consortium of merchants for the promotion of their foreign trade gave rise to an association of cities, to which around 200 coastal and inland cities belonged in the course of time. The Hanseatic League in the Middle Ages These cities were located in an area that today encom- passes seven European countries: from the Dutch Zui- derzee in the west to Baltic Estonia in the east, and from Sweden‘s Visby / Gotland in the north to the Cologne- Erfurt-Wroclaw-Krakow perimeter in the south. From this base, the Hanseatic traders developed a strong economic in uence, which during the 16th century extended from Portugal to Russia and from Scandinavia to Italy, an area that now includes 20 European states. Honest merchants – Fair Trade? Merchants, who often shared family ties to each other, were not always fair to producers and craftsmen. There is ample evidence of routine fraud and young traders in far- ung posts who led dissolute lives. It has also been proven that slave labor was used. ̇ ̆ Trading was conducted with goods that were typically regional, and sometimes with luxury goods: for example, wax and furs from Novgorod, cloth, silver, metal goods, salt, herrings and Chronology: grain from Hanseatic cities such as Lübeck, Münster or Dortmund 12th–14th Century - “Kaufmannshanse”. Establishment of Hanseatic trading posts (Hanseatic kontors) with common privi- leges for Low German merchants 14th–17th Century - “Städtehanse”. Cooperation between the Hanseatic cit- ies to defend their trade privileges and Merchants from di erent cities in di erent enforce common interests, especially at countries formed convoys and partnerships.
