Links to B0MB GROUP & SQUADRON HISTORIES are found with the home page link "First Over Germany and publications".
Click here for INDIVIDUAL HISTORIES:
We have received a number historical materials regarding the history of the times and of 306th individuals.
They serve as good examples of various ways a veteran or his family can relay his story and add to general historical information.
Also included is a report made by the great-grandchildren of Gerald Weiler that shows some of the younger 4th generation are learning about history from their families.
We hope it will inspire younger generations to become educated regarding this most important time in the world's history.
