ART KRAMER'S WWII STORIES

The Battle That Never Was

Sometimes memories trigger remembrances of things long forgotten. This is about one of the strange moments in war. I remember that we were flying east toward a target in Germany. I don't rememember what the target was. But as we flew we spotted a formation of JU-88's in the distance heading west. We couldn't abort our mission to go after them, and they obviously couldn't abort theirs to come after us. And we couldn't break radio silence to even report that we had spotted them. We flew on to our target and when we returned to base we reported what we saw. We never did find out what they were after. All that remains is the memory of a battle that never happened.
