Letters From War Show Robber Bombs And Air Raids
Cpl. Fred Krueger, with the Eighth Air Force in England, writes his parents about air raids and robot bombs launched from Holland near Swindon and Ipswich. He recalls diving for ditches during explosions and notes nights of raids as he hopes for a furlough home. Other local servicemen receive medical discharges, shipboard duties, and leaves.
