U.S. air Armada attacks Berlin.

U.S. air Armada attacks Berlin. Smoke and flame billow up from the rail marshalling yards in the Friedrichsfelde district of Central Berlin as heavy concentrations of high explosives strike down during an attack June 21, 1944, by the Eighth U.S. Air Force. More than 2,000 American war planes (Fortresses and Liberators escorted by fighters) slashed through heavy German defenses to shower explosives on targets in Berlin and outlying Basdorf.
