Tens crews launched their B-24 Liberators into the dark, cold morning air on March 14, 1945 from. William Bradley flew next to Lt. Who commanded the aircraft as they headed to bomb the Marshaling Yard at Nove Zamky, Hungary. Their crew of twelve included two navigators, a radar nav, bombardier. Engineer, radio operator, and four gunners. The overall mission was deemed a success, but the only man to survive on Martzs crew had a dramatic tale to tell. Memorial Day, where we remember those who have died in battle, seemed an appropriate time to tell a story about a distant Parks relative, Lt. William Bradley, who died in World War II. My husband had become particularly interested in him (a cousin once removed) after he discovered William and his brother were fellow Georgia Tech yellow jackets. The oldest brother graduated in 1941, and William entered that year as a freshman. William left college two years later in 1943, as many young men did, to go to war. He was commissioned a 2LT in the Army Air Corp in 1943 and assigned to the 781st Bomb Squadron, 465 Bomb Group, 15th Air Force, flying B-24 Liberators. The the unit trained at McCook field Nebraska and operated until the war in Europe ended in 1945. The only man to survive William Bradleys last flight was engineer, T/Sgt. Beeson, who told his story about the fateful flight. Today that story and many others are printed in a booklet. Of the units history published by the 781. Below is an abbreviated version of that event told by Beeson in 1987. The bombing run to the marshaling yard was not different than many others. The flak, while not as heavy as theyd encountered before, had pegged the formations location. The crew successfully unloaded their bombs over the target and were preparing to turn and head home. The tail gunner reported flak following their line of flight, bursting closer and closer. An explosion shook their craft. Fire burst on the pilots side as flak came up from underneath his seat. A single glance revealed Martz had died. The last thing Beeson saw on the flight. Deck as he hit the bailout alarm was Lt. Bradley attempting to control the damaged aircraft. Beeson grabbed his chute and dropped into the bomb bay where the bombardier joined. Him with chute in hand. The plane lurched, and Beeson fell out, facing up where he could see the plane above going around and around. He never saw where it crashed. Reported three or four chutes leaving the plane, but the unfriendly Hungarians below with their town in flames likely left them no chance for survival. Beeson lived to tell the tale because. He was rescued from the villagers hands by a German soldier. So many people have died in WWII and other wars our nation has fought. I appreciate their sacrifice to allow my friends and family to live in this great country. Some of the other photos in the book are. Photo shows WW11 – crew 29/ C.

These were brought back from the war by my grandfather. He pasted them onto my grandmother after his death. He died before I was born so I could never had heard the exact story on how he got them. My grandmother had left them to me after her death. From what my grandmother told me that my grandfather got them after the Germans surrendered, his troops raided a armory. So these were never in service. My grandmother took excellent care of them. Once again they have been in my family for many years and will not take low offers because these are in great shape from what I have seen out there. There is no rust on them or gouges in the wood handles or metal blades. So the German bayonet was a standard issue from what I have learned. The bayonet and sheath have matching numbers as you can see in the photo. The German SA dagger was manufactured by The Ed Wusthof of Solingen. I could not find many daggers of this manufacturers for sale so I think they are rare. But the history of Ed Wusthof company is they were founded in Solingen Germany in 1814. They still make knives today and I believe they have manufacturing in The USA. So once again this dagger is in great shape. The sheath’s paint is a little bubbly looking but that is normal because of age. I have seen others like that, once the again it is around 80 years old. The blade is etched, “Alles fr Deutschland”, or “All for Germany “. And the leather belt clip is in good shape other than it needs the 2 stitches replaced that holds two ends of the leather connected together, but that can be easily fixed. Once again I hope a real collector takes these. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. With this said you can see all the pictures and if you need to see more contact me and you have read the description. Thank you for looking at my listing and reading the description.
