The Amerika Bomber
Prologue
Hitler couldn't stand the constant sound of bombs falling on Berlin. The
American B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators were literally turning
Berlin into a living hell. "Mein Fuhrer," Reich Marshal Hermann Goering, the
head of the Luftwaffe, said. Hitler looked at him. He wasn't moved.
"Yes, Herr Reich Marshal?" Hitler asked.
"The Americans have long-range strategic bombers. We don't. We need one
master stroke-----a bold plan, a bold innovation, to bring the Americans to
their knees."
Hitler looked at him. "What do you propose, Herr Reich Marshal?"
"A new bomber to reach America herself, and bomb her cities, then we could
take their capital, Washington, and other cities, like New York, Boston, and
Chicago."
"Do it," Hitler said.
Chapter 1
The Dornier 301, the first long range strategic bomber, took off from its
base in occupied France. Hauptmann Klaus Ziegler, the Luftwaffe's veteran
bomber pilot, having served in the Polish, Danish, Norwegian, Dutch, Belgian, and French, campaigns, and Operation Sealion, led the Luftwaffe's
First Bomber Squadron. Their destination was Washington, DC, the American capital. "Herr Hauptmann," Leutnant Bruno von Kliest, his co-
pilot, asked. "How soon before we're over the Amerikaner capital?"
"Eight hours, Mein Herr," Oberfaenrich Wilhelm Jaeger, the first Amerika Bomber's navigator, replied.
Chapter 2
The bombs seemed to come from out of nowhere. Washington was under
attack for the first time since 1814. "What is it, General Arnold?" Roosevelt
asked. "Mr. President," Arnold replied grimly. "We're being bombed by the
Germans."
"Do we have antiaircraft guns?"
"Yes, sir," George Marshall, the Army Chief of Staff, replied.
"Then, George," Roosevelt said. "Let's use them."
Chapter 3
The flak was so thick that you could get out and walk on it as if it was a carpet. "We're being fired on, Mein Herr," von Kliest said.
"I know," Ziegler replied. "We knew it wouldn't be easy."
