Bombing of St Lo Area Caused Lighter Casualties Says Brereton
U S 9th Air Force commander Maj Gen Lewis H Brereton reported that casualties among frontline American troops from yesterday's large bombing west of St Lo were lighter than first believed. He cited smoke and dust obscuring aims as crews crossed into late waves. He noted 50 planes involved and that bombs largely hit a small targeted strip, with thousands of small anti personnel bombs used to avoid heavy crater formation. Initial prisoner reports described the bombing as the Nazis most severe blow yet, severely damaging morale.
