Awards: Air Medal with Oak Leaf Clusters
Pilot 2nd/Lt. Donald D. Prell KIA
Target:BRUNSWICK Germany
MISSING AIRCREW REPORT: #5096
Date Lost: 19-May-44
Serial Number: #41-29129
Aircraft Model B-24
Aircraft Letter: "A"
Aircraft Name: (NO NICKNAME)43rd Mission
Location: Abbenrode, (6.5) kilometers north of Bad Harzburg, Germany
Cause: German fighters Crew of 10 8KIA 2POW
Due to bad weather locally and over Germany, missions briefed for the 16th and 17th were cancelled before take-off with the familiar "Alamogordo" announcement, the cancellation code word used on the ground, given to the crews at the aircraft. In this period, increased ground security was the order of the day with the coming Allied invasion. A Mobile Defense Unit had been formed to cope with base penetrators or a paratroop attack. Crew gunners were assigned to man the top turrets of the bombers during alerts and personnel were rechecked for proper use of gas masks, weapons and other survival equipment just in case of a ground attack. On the 19th, the assigned target was the Waggum airfield just outside Brunswick and this mission was to be marked with significant Group losses in aircrew personnel and aircraft
MISSION LOSS CIRCUMSTANCES: An eye-witness report from returning aircrews stated that this aircraft was lost to enemy fighter attacks over the target and that men began bailing out with a total of (5) parachutes seen before the ship went into a dive. A German ground report 20 May at reported that this aircraft was shot down at 1315 hours, 19 May, at Abbenrode, (6.5) kilometers north of Bad Harzburg, Germany; that it was shot down by an Me-109 fighter and that casualties found at the crash site will be buried at the Abbenrode village cemetery. It noted further that (2) crew men had been taken as prisoners: Lt. Stetson, Hervey E., SN 0-685873 and Sgt. Riley, Albert J. The report also stated that two of the dead found could not be identified due the burned condition of bodies (Note: these (2) crew men turned out to be S/Sgt. Simila, the Nose Gunner, and S/Sgt. Dreher, Assistant Engineer-Gunner, initially, but a follow-on enemy report on 21 May at 2250 hours from Air Base Headquarters at Halberstedt finally identified the body of Sgt. Simila, as well as the other (6) crew members dead, thus leaving only the body of Sgt. Dreher as the one not being positively identified. This latter conclusion was also stated in War Department letter from the Chief, Office of Information Services and dated 12 February 1946 to a Congressman William W. Colmar's query regarding another of this aircrew, S/Sgt Pearson. These German reports noted also the capture of Lt. Stetson and Sgt. Riley on the same day of their mission, 19 May, at 1320 hours at the village of Stapelburg.
INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS OF CREWMEN FATES: A somewhat detailed report (Casualty Questionnaire), was completed by 2/Lt. Stetson about this crew loss and the mission in general after his release from POW status in June 1945. He rendered an informative account on his fellow crew members as to their status in the plane just before bailing out himself: that the Pilot, Prell, was in the pilot's seat and alive at that moment, having just spoken to him about two minutes prior before the interphone system went out; that he knew of only one other member who did manage to bail out also, S/Sgt Riley, Waist Gunner, and that he (Stetson) had no exact knowledge concerning the others abandoning the ship. He noted that when their plane left the formation, they were flying between Brunswick and Magdeburg. In regard to the mission tactics followed at and over the target of Brunswick, Lt. Stetson gave a rather detailed account of what actually took place by the bomber formations, "I feel that our Wing's activity on May 19, 1944 was rather odd. We were to bomb Brunswick with the rest of the 2nd Bomb Division, Eighth AF, and to follow this course:" (rough diagram reflected a route-in just north of the target city, then a turn directly of ninety degrees to a south heading for the briefed bomb run, followed then by turns westerly to egress the target area and the return route outbound to England). "Instead, our Wing made a '360' degree turn over the city after we had dropped our bombs - and made another bomb run back over the city complex to re-intercept the original bomb run course of (180) degrees over the briefed target). "We were shot down near the northeast of Brunswick toward Magdeburg). "This unexplained extra run resulted in our loss, and because our fighter support had gone on with the remainder of the 2nd Division, we were easy prey for approximately (250) German fighter aircraft. I imagine that our Wing suffered heavy losses through this mishandling of the situation by our Wing leader of that day". (End of quotes, and Notes: The 392nd formation this day and specifically the squadron element in which Lt Prell's aircraft was assigned to fly was a position in the 14th Combat Wing of High Right off the 492nd Bomb Group out of North Pickenham. The 392nd's other squadron element flew High Right off the 44th Bomb Group of the Wing on this raid, both elements being the only 392nd commitments and assigned positions on 19 May 1944. The 14th CW suffered very heavy losses this date on this mission to Brunswick, where the entire Division was assigned to bomb. The Wing lost a total of (11) Liberators and crews, (8) of which were the 492nd Bomb Group's in addition to the (3) from the 392nd. The third Group of the 1 4CW, the 44th, had no losses on this raid (Statistical reference from the 'Mighty Eighth War Diary' by Roger Freeman). Most all of the Prell crew were on their 17th mission according to the MACA.
BURIAL RECORDS: The German reports stated that burial of all (8) crew member casualties took place on 20 May 1944 at 1600 hours in the village cemetery at Abbenrode. U.S. National Cemetery records reflect the following: Lt. Prell was reinterred subsequently at the ARDENNES Cemetery (Grave D-3-31) and the Air Medal awarded with two Oak Leaf Clusters is noted, however no Purple Heart citation is indicated. There are no other U.S. overseas National Cemetery records which indicate re-burials of the remaining crew men in Europe.
