Debrief notes.
§ Group Debrief
Three days after Christmas, the crew returned to the Kaiserslautern marshalling yards at 21,900 feet in -34°C air — a continuation of the campaign to sever German supply lines supporting the Bulge. Escorted by three P-51 groups, the formation encountered only meager but accurate flak and achieved very good bombing results. No losses were sustained.

On December 28th the crew returned to Kaiserslautern, hitting the marshalling yards as part of the continuing effort to cut German transportation lines supporting the now-stalling Bulge offensive. Defenses were lighter than previous visits. The bombing results were assessed as very good. Five flak holes in the aircraft, all crew safe.
