The night of 4/5 September 1944 (Page 84)
|
A rare reference to NSG 9's impact on Allied ground troops can be found in "The Gothic Line: Canada's Climactic World War II Triumph in Italy" by Mark Zuehlke (Douglas & McIntyre, Vancouver, 2003).
Recommending this book highly, reviewer Bill Stone wrote:
...there's scarcely a mention of air support until the night of 4–5 September [1944]. Surprisingly, it was not an Allied operation. The Luftwaffe sent a few raiders over the Canadians and caused disruption far in excess of their numbers and the actual physical destruction.
