to Ruhland,Germany in Sept.1944.At about 12:10 English time we were hit by F.W.
190s.Due to oxygen system which was shot out and also serious lung wounds,I was
unconsclous and don't remember how I got out. I have no knowledge of what happ-
ened at all except hearsay. I heard in Germany from a fellow flyer that the ship
blew up.Then when I got to France I saw the Navigator Lt.Soden. He said he saw a
ship explode after he bailed out, but he couldn't tell if it was ours."
Lt.Manniello received injuries to the skull and had no memory of any events occur-
ring betwean 5 and 16 Sept. However, he said as follows in August 1945: "The
Toggalier,Minton, Edward, Sgt.,occupied the other bed in my room (in Ger. Hosp,)
and gave me the following information.
1.The pilot, Everitt,Orville C. was killed in the plane but everyone else
bailed out.
2. We were strafed while floating earthward.
3. We were attacked by civilians at railroad station in Kemotan, Sudeten-
land,Germany.
4. Minton had no knowledge of fate of other members of our crew. (Minton
was later officially reported by the German Govt. to have died as a
result of a fractured spine."
