of the Atlantic
fleet, still believes that a Ger
man robot bomb attack on the
east coast is "possible and feas
ible." He reiterated his belief in a

not repeat his previous warning
that it was "possible and prob
able" that New York and Wash

YANKEE PLANES
U. S. 12th Army Group Head
quarters, Western Front, Jan. 12
J.R Doaghboys of the U. S.
30th infantry division, who had
beaten off one of the heaviest
German attacks of the Ardennes
offensive, wept with rage when
American planes mistakenly
bombed their positions in Mai
medy twice in less than 24 hours.
Twelfth army group author!
ties confirmed the incident in a
brief announcement stating that
six B-26 Marauders of the U. S.
ninth air force bombed Malmedy
and its American defenders on
December 23 and that 18 B-24
Liberators of the eighth air
force repeated the attack the fol
lowing day.
The Marauders had become
separated from the rest of their
formation in bad weather and
dropped their bombs on the
town at 3:30 in the afternoon, be
lieving they were over the Ger
man lines.
Infantrymen of the 30th divis
ion still were digging out of the
wreckage at 2:30 the following
afternoon when the heavies came
over and piled up additional
casualties and damage.
There was no official explana
tion for the second attack, ex-
cept that it was made "in error."
