Mortgage assumed by buyer exposes seller to lingering liability
Henry Jones sells his home for 15000 with a 10000 mortgage. The buyer agrees to take over payments and pay 5000 cash. Years later, the bank says mortgage payments are in arrears and Henry must pay or face suit. He remains liable if the loan is not released. Banks may resist releasing the seller, especially FHA or GI loans, and a falling market may leave insufficient value to cover the loan. The State Bar of Texas cautions this is informative, not legal advice.

Big Week 1944 Forces Allied Air Supremacy Over Germany
During February 20 to 25 1944 the 8th Air Force backed by RAF and US fighters launched about 3300 heavy bombers at central German aircraft plants. The raids dropped over 10000 tons of bombs and produced 2500 fighter sorties. The attacks led to near total dispersal of German aircraft industry and the destruction of roughly 600 Nazi aircraft on the ground or in oil facilities, establishing Allied air superiority.
