CAF Warbird Tube - "Black Week" A Turning Point in WWII

November 12, 2024 • Commemorative Air Force

An in-depth look at one of the most devastating periods of World War II—Black Week. Our special guest, Nathan Huegen, Vice President of Education for the Commemorative Air Force, will guide us through the harrowing events of this pivotal week in October 1943. The 100th Bomb Group flew several critical missions over Germany, targeting heavily defended industrial cities and key aircraft production facilities, including Bremen, Münster, and Schweinfurt. These sites were essential to the German war effort. Learn how the Luftwaffe's fierce attacks on Allied bombers led to catastrophic losses, forcing a major rethink in Allied air strategy.
