Maastricht post liberation

AAR from 91st Luftwaffe Officer Cadet Acegacek: " Sgt Major Acegacek lifted from Gladbach Airfield alone to check out enemy air presence over Maastricht, it was said over radio from ground chat that there were multiple bombers flying in and around the town. After I arrived, I was greeted by s sight of 6 RAF/FAF fighters chasing one lone bf109G6. With altitude advantage, I dove down to try to bugger the Spitfires and Hawks off my friendly. After damaging multiple and shooting down one, the 109 cam crashing down. After him, I was alone and called for help. I weaved my way to Maastricht FlaK guns which took out two of the Spitfire Mk IX's. Soon after, fellow pilots Sgt Major Signasty and Corporal Kev came in to my aid. We were over the bridges South of town, keeping in mind that we had FlaK guns set up not too far away. One by one, the allies sent bombers in to try to knock out 4 bridges. We encountered Blenheims, DB-7's, Hurricanes, P-39's and a few Spitfires in the few minutes we were over the target zone. Most bombers were shot down before they were able to release, sadly a few passed the three FW190's before we could get a guns solution on them. During our time protecting the bridges, we did not need to use our FlaK support, but still thanked their presence. The RAF had taken out one bridge but at a loss of supplies. A pair of bombers were let to run to base, to tell their comrades of the terror awaiting them over the bridges. Sgt Major Acegacek and Corporal Kev made their way back to Gladbach Airfield after their cannon ammo had depleted. Sgt Major Signasty chose to chase down a P-39 that had try to drop his bomb on the bridge, but was unable to. The P-39 pilot was in sight of his AA guns. Just a while later, Sgt Major Signasty sent the P-39 crashing to the ground, landing kilometers from the airfield. After Signasty left his present for the FAF, he returned to Gladbach Airfield for ammo and to meet up with his fellow pilots.

!S to all three pilots who took 30 minutes to secure bridges. In the next hour, the HEER was able to push into Gent and Bilzen, Making the Maastricht west side secure for the time being.

One bridge was down, three still standing. RAF/FAF lost multiple planes, and many more severely damaged."
