Product Information

One of WWII's final untold stories, this visceral account of the white-knuckled bombing mission American airmen carried out on Hitler's hometown of Linz, Austria is now told for the first time through the eyes of the men on the airplanes as well as the innocent Austrians under the bombs. Fans of Masters of the Air and Unbroken will be riveted by this groundbreaking true story of the aerial bombing and its aftermath from retired CIA officer Mike Croissant. Foreword by Richard Overy, author of The Bombers and the Bombed In April 1945, Linz was one of Nazi Germany's most vital assets. It was a crucial transportation hub and communications center, with railyards brimming with war materiel destined for the front lines. Linz was also the town Hitler claimed as home and had long intended to remake as the cultural capital of Europe, filling its planned Führermuseum with world-famous art stolen from his conquered territories. Inevitably, Linz was also one of the most heavily defended targets remaining in Europe. The airmen of the Fifteenth Air Force were a mix of seasoned veterans and newcomers. As their mission was unveiled in the predawn hours of April 25, audible groans and muffled expletives passed many lips. The reality of that mission would prove more brutal than any imagined. In the unheated, unpressurized B-24 Liberator and B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bombers, young men battled elements as dangerous as anything the Germans could throw at them. When batteries of German anti-aircraft guns opened fire, the men flew into a man-made hell of exploding shrapnel. Aircraft and men fell from the sky as Austrian civilians on the ground also struggled to survive beneath the bombs during the deadly climax of Hitler's war. Drawing on interviews with dozens of America's last surviving World War II veterans, as well as previously unpublished sources, Mike Croissant compellingly relates one of the war's last truly untold stories--a gripping chronicle of warfare, the death of Nazi Germany, and the beginning of the Cold War. It is also a timeless tale of courage and terror, loss and redemption, humanity and savagery.

Reviews
PRAISE FROM THE EXPERTS "An extraordinary story of the incredible bomber crews who flew the last mass aerial raid in the European theater of WWII - and a page-turning thriller, as well !" --General David Petraeus , US Army (Ret.) "With vivid details and stories that showcase the very human reactions of young men thrust into the jaws of combat, Mike Croissant brings a well-researched story that is immensely readable." --Gregory A. Freeman , author of The Forgotten 500 and The Last Mission of the Wham Bam Boys "Mike Croissant combines you-are-there immediacy of a Fifteenth Air Force bomber crew with an overview of Hitler's connection to Linz, Austria, in a way that is educational and entertaining." --Barrett Tillman , author of Forgotten Fifteenth: The Daring Airmen Who Crippled Hitler's War Machine "A remarkable story that needed to be told - action packed military history at its very best." --Anthony Tucker-Jones , author of Hitler's Winter: The German Battle of the Bulge "The most impressive collection of first-person accounts that I have ever seen. . . The air battle and the fates of the men who had to abandon crippled bombers make for a gripping 'I-was-there' story ." --Harry Yeide , author of The Longest Battle and Fighting Patton "Croissant puts us in the cockpit of the bomber, rides us down with the bombs, and makes us feel the impact of the explosions as they destroy the target. One cannot read this book without experiencing the full range of emotions." --Vincent Speranza , author of Nuts! A 101st Airborne Division Machine Gunner at Bastogne "Tapping an extensive array of never-before-used primary sources, Croissant delivers a tribute worthy of the valiant heroes who made such an extraordinary contribution to the US and Allied war effort against Nazi Germany." --Daniel Hoffman , former CIA Station Chief and cable news commentator "Recounted with verve, Bombing Hitler's Hometown is an exhaustive examination of this little-known, late-war raid. Balanced, rigorously detailed, and thoughtful, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the American air war over Europe." --Randall Hansen , author of Fire and Fury: The Allied Bombing of Germany and Japan
